Kiyomori was a nasty guy. He ruled with an iron fist. It is said that when he died, his fever burned with the heat of hell, so hot that it boiled the water of his bath and no one could get near him as he lay on his deathbed. This is a great woodblock made from this story.
Love the coin! I'd love to pick this one up too.
yeah i read it as well, pretty intense story, to be honest i first learned about him while discovering the coin!
