“In reality, he does not seem to have been the wisest or greatest of men, nor did he bring about epoch-making changes or instigate great policy reforms. He did not change the course of history or create monuments of which people could say ‘Michinaga built that’. He was not the greatest of poets either.

japanese history is a roller coaster. every few generations the rulers get so zen and so into their art and poetry that they forget to run the country and then all the warlords break up the provinces again. and it’s just like ah shit ah fuck we did it again boys *goes to war for fifty years while the current ruler meditates in a teahouse*
