Although classified as a war chronicle, the Gikeiki, unlike the "Heike monogatari," is not actually focused on the period of Yoshitsune's magnificent battles, but rather on his childhood, his early successes, and his ruin. 分類は軍記物語ではあるが、『平家物語』のように華々しい合戦の時期に重点が置かれているのではなく、義経の幼少期・出世・没落の時期に重点が置かれている。 |
