Read section 2 of chapter XVII, which goes over the relationship between the Imperial Court and the Bakufu at Kamakura. Emperor Go-Toba made many attempts to limit their power. In the end, his forces were overwhelmed by the Kamakura warriors, and they only gained more power in the process. Land and manors of chief conspirators were taken by the Bakufu and given as rewards to vassals, further ensuring their loyalty.

Section 5 is dedicated to the Taira clan, tracing the origins of their rivalry with the Minamoto that was accelerated by the Hōgen Rebellion and the Heiji Rising. This began a period in the 12th century in which the Taira were the dominant clan. In closing, it details the accomplishments of Taira no Masamori and Taira no Tadamori, father of Taira no Kiyomori. It stresses the great successes of Tadamori, and how this made the Taira clan on equal footing with court nobles by the time Kiyomori became head of the clan.
