The origin of the naming is that red and white (in addition, light red, spots / squeezing) blooms on a single tree, and the color of the Heike flag "Red" and the color of the Genji flag "White" fought in a mixed battle. It is said to have been parable in the Battle of Genpei.

It is said that the proportion of red, white, light red, spot and aperture flowers bloom in different aspects every year, and it is a natural phenomenon rich in mystery. Genpei peach with a glossy flower shape that shines in the deep blue sky and is a bit different from cherry blossoms. The season is full of spring.
