Lu Chi Shen in a Drunken Rage Smashing the Guardian Figure at the Temple of the Five-Crested Mountain

"The military captain Lu Ta took the vows of a Buddhist priest to escape retribution for his murder of a man during a drunken rage. His violent, destructive nature however [...]. Yoshitoshi illustrated the night that Lu returned to the temple on a drunken rampage and decided to prove his strength by smashing the gate flanked by nio, the sculptured dieties who guard the entrances of all Buddhist temples. After demolishing the gate and column, he then attacked the wooden sculptures that he imagined to be mocking him."

The Fever of Taira no Kiyomori

"With the exertion of Taira power and wealth and Kiyomori's new monopoly on authority, many of his allies, most of the provincial samurai, and even members of his own clan turned against him. Prince Mochihito, brother of Emperor Takakura, called on Kiyomori's old rivals of the Minamoto clan to rise against the Taira beginning the Genpei War in the middle of 1180. Kiyomori died early in the next year from sickness, leaving his son Munemori to preside over the downfall and destruction of the Taira at the hands of the Minamoto in 1185. Legend has it that at the time of his death, Kiyomori's fever was so high that anyone who attempted to even get near him would be burned by the heat & his corpse had to be left to cool for several hours before it could be removed."
