is a Japanese war chronicle or military tale (''gunki monogatari'') which relates the events and prominent figures of the Hōgen Rebellion.〔In the name "''Hōgen'' Rebellion," the noun "''Hōgen''" refers to the ''nengō'' (Japanese era name) after "''Kyūju''" and before "''Heiji''." In other words, the ''Hōgen'' Rebellion occurred during ''Hōgen'', which was a time period spanning the years from 1156 through 1159.〕 This literary and historical classic is believed to have been completed in the Kamakura period ca. 1320. Its author or authors remain unknown. The events which are recounted in the ''Hōgen'' story become a prelude to the story which unfolds in ''Tale of Heiji''.〔In the name "''Heiji'' Rebellion," the noun "''Heiji''" refers to the ''nengō'' (Japanese era name) after "''Hōgen''" and before "''Eiryaku''." In other words, the ''Heiji'' Rebellion occurred during ''Heiji'', which was a time period spanning the years from 1159 through 1160.〕 ==Rivalries== As in the ''Heiji'' story, multi-level and inter-related rivalries lead to war; and the main characters are presented in traditional status order: Emperors and former Emperors first, Fujiwara ministers second, and Minamoto clan warriors third.〔Brown, Delmer ''et al.''
