Taira no Kagekiyo (平 景清) (died 1196), also known as Kazusa no Shichirō (上総 七郎), was a samurai of the Taira clan who took part in the Genpei War of Japan, against the Minamoto clan.
The son by birth of Fujiwara no Tadakiyo. His original name was Fujiwara no Kagekiyo (藤原 景清), but he was adopted by the Taira and served them loyally the rest of his life. In 1156, he played a role in confirming Emperor Go-Shirakawa on the throne, and later, during the Genpei War, sought unsuccessfully to have the head of the Minamoto clan, Minamoto no Yoritomo, assassinated.
Kagekiyo is perhaps most famous for his appearance in the eleventh chapter of the fictionalized epic Heike Monogatari (The Tale of Heike) during the Battle of Yashima, in the section called "The Dropped Bow" (弓流).
Taira no Kagekiyo in Fate/Grand Order, fan art
I really like the hybrid & #syncretic design for Taira no Kagekiyo in Fate/Grand Order, which is the fusion of the butterfly knot of female #kimono and medieval Japanese male warrior's #armor .
Another cultural fusion that I am deeply fascinated with is Japanese Hakama with Chinese #hanfu top.
