Depictions of the "Battle Screens of Genji and Heishi at Ichi-no-tani and Yashima" in the collection of the Kobe City Museum － Through comparison with works related to The Tale of the Heike －

神戸市立博物館蔵「源平合戦図屏風 一の谷・屋島合戦図」の描写について―『平家物語』関連作品との対照を通じて―

源氏と平氏の合戦を描いた「源平合戦図屏風」は多くの作例が遺されている。神戸市立博物館においても、狩野吉信筆「源平合戦図屏風 一の谷・屋島合戦図」を所蔵しているが、図中の場面比定が行われた他に、詳細な分析は行われていない。そこで本稿では同図について、主に『平家物語』の記述と図様の差異に注目して分析し、そこから見出される同物語の関連作品の影響について言及し、合戦図研究に資することを目指す。

There are many examples of “Battle Screens of Genji and Heishi” depicting the battle between the Genji and Taira clan. The Kobe City Museum also possesses Kano Yoshinobu's " Battle Screens of Genji and Heishi at Ichi-no-tani and Yashima ", but a detailed analysis has not been carried out other than identifying the scene in the figure. Therefore, in this paper, I will analyze this illustration, focusing mainly on the differences between the description and the design of "The Tale of the Heike," and refer to the influence of works related to the story that can be found from it, aiming to contribute to the study of battle paintings.
