專家說明

Tokiwa Gozen (1138-?) was the mother of Minamoto no Yoshitsune (1159-1189) shown here as a baby in his mother's arms. After the death of the boy's father, Minamoto no Yoshitomo (1123-1180), during the Heiji rebellion, Tokiwa Gozen was forced to flee from Taira no Kiyomori (1118-1181) to protect the life of her three sons.
