Here depicted is a fight between Minamoto No Yoshitsune and his brother, Yoritomo, after the Battle of Genpei. Yoshitsune, who was being chased by a troop Yoritomo had sent, tried to sail out from Settsu in order to call for his supporters, but unfortunately a big storm brought him back to the port. He decided to take a route through Mt. Yoshino, but the monks in Mt. Yoshino came to attack him to show their royalty to Yoritomo. The scene in this screen is the battle at this time.
