Kajiwara Kagesue
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kajiwara Kagesue (Japanese: 梶原 景季; 1162 – February 6, 1200), was a samurai in service to the Minamoto clan during the Genpei War of Japan's late Heian period.[1]
The Heike monogatari records an anecdote about a friendly competition with Sasaki Takatsuna prior to the second battle of Uji.[2] Mounted on Yoritomo's black horse, Surusumi, he races Takatsuna across the River Uji.[3][4]
Kajiwara was killed along with his father Kagetoki at Suruga by men loyal to Minamoto no Yoriie.[1]
