| The bow of Minamotono Yoritomo destroyed clans of Heishi and Ohshu-Fujiwarashi, and as legend has it, was used to dig up the water source of Zenpukuji pond (the site of this exhibition) after his triumphant return in the12th Century. I see this bow as a symbol of his thirst for conquest and water, desires universal throughout the ages. | ||||||||||||||||||||
