The reasons for Yoritsuna's attack are hazy but possibly Yasumori's heir, Munekage, was plotting to take the post of Shogun (he claimed descent from [[Minamoto Yoritomo]].) Just as likely, if not more so, is that Yoritsuna generated these charges as a pretext to do away with his hated rival Yasumori. Yet Yoritsuna himself would be done in by rivals in [[1293]].

In addition to being an important political figure, Yasumori was a scholar of Confucian classics and Buddhism. His second son, [[Adachi Morimune]], replaced him as shugo of Higo Province.
