What was the cause of Japan's downfall after the II. World War? What are the right questions for the post-war Japanese? For Yoshikawa, who suffered from the Pacific War, Taira's downfall was the same as that of post-war Japan. Yoshikawa's Taira Tale comes at the end to tell Yoshitsune Minamoto's life. He destroyed Minamoto's arch-enemy, Taira, in the sea battle of Dannoura. But he was so sad to have killed many innocent people of Taira. Yoshitsune didn't want war anymore. He was convinced at the end of 32- year-old life weapons only bring war and people's death.
