Japanese History (br) Chuko Shinsho (New Book of Chuko) : In the late Heian period, as a person in absolute power beyond the Emperor, Emperor Emeritus insisted on the Insei. Also, middle-class nobles supporting the In, military nobles such as the Minamoto clan and the Taira clan, and wet nurses began to have power, and there was a proliferation of power. Then, a huge Nyoin was born, whose power was divided by the In. Their enormous wealth triggered the confusion of the Genpei War, and finally the era changed to the era of samurai. What was the Nyoin power that Murasaki Shikibu predicted in 『 Genji monogatari 』 (The Tale of Genji in Nara), and Empress Shoshi ended up with? The mystery of elegant and strong women who even said, "Japan is a country with eyes for women (women have the right to decide politics)" is now revealed.
