The Mikka Heishi Rebellion

Japanese: 三日平氏の乱 - みっかへいしのらん

This was the last rebellion of the Ise Heike clan that occurred in the spring of 1204 (Genkyu 1). As the report of Hiraga Tomomasa, who was in charge of suppressing the rebellion, states, "Even though the two provinces (Iga and Ise) were tempted, the rebellion did not last more than three days," the outcome was decided in a battle that took place from April 10th to 12th, hence the name. It is a mistake to say that some versions of the Tale of the Heike and the Genpei Jōsuiki refer to this rebellion as occurring in 1184 (Genryaku 1). As early as the end of 1203 (Kennin 3), Wakana Goro of the Ise Heike clan launched a night attack on the province's guardian's office, but by February and March of the following year, the scale of the rebellion had spread to the entire Heike clan in the Iga and Ise regions.

1204年(元久1)の春に起こった伊勢平氏最後の反乱。乱の鎮圧に当たった平賀朝雅の報告書に，〈およそ狼両国(伊賀，伊勢)を靡（なび）かすといえども，蜂起三日を軼（す）ぎず〉とあるように，4月10日より12日までの戦いで雌雄が決せられたのでこの名称がある。《平家物語》諸本の一部や《源平盛衰記》などに1184年(元暦1)の蜂起を指していうのは誤り。すでに1203年(建仁3)暮れ，伊勢平氏の若菜五郎が同国守護所に夜討をかけた事件があったが，翌年2,3月になると反乱の規模は伊賀･伊勢地方の平氏一族全体に及んだ。
