33. Kiyomori's 50th Birthday (清盛、五十の宴)

In 1167, Kiyomori becomes the Chief Minister of the Imperial Court. At the celebration of Kiyomori's 50th birthday, aristocrats from prominent families, who are discontent with Kiyomori's dominance over the Imperial Court, appear and say sarcastically that the Taira family has military power but no understanding in aestheticism. Kiyomori proves them wrong by making his brothers dance and read poetry, and Kiyomori also starts to perform a dance himself.
