Kajiwara Heizou Kagetoki, from the series Japanese Heroes for the Twelve Signs 英雄大倭十二士 梶原平三景時えいゆうやまとじゅうにし かじわらへいぞうかげとき
Description
梶原景時は、平安時代末期から鎌倉時代初期にかけて活躍した武将。源頼朝の重臣として知られるが、源義経と対立していたため「義経記」では敵役として描かれた。そのため、江戸時代には義経のことを頼朝に讒言して義経没落の原因を作った人物として、悪人として語られる事が多かった。「平家物語」には、生田口を守る平知盛との戦いで、息子景季が敵陣に取り残されたのを知った景時が、敵のまっただ中へ引き返し、名乗りを上げて敵陣を駆け破り、見事景季を助け出すという、「梶原の二度駆け」と呼ばれる奮闘が描かれている。
