Wikipedia definition
1. Battle of YashimaThe naval Battle of Yashima took place on 22 March 1185. Following a long string of defeats, the Taira clan retreated to Yashima, today's Takamatsu, just off the coast of Shikoku. Here they had a fortress, and an improvised palace for Emperor Antoku and the imperial regalia, which they had taken earlier in the war. Minamoto no Yoshitsune, setting out from Kyoto after a lull of several months in the war, found his way to Shikoku with a small force, no more than about a hundred men.
