"Taira no Shigemori" is a notable portrait attributed to the Japanese artist Takanobu Fujiwara (1142–1205), who was active during the late Heian period. The painting is a depiction of Taira no Shigemori (1138–1179), a prominent samurai figure and the eldest son of Taira no Kiyomori, the head of the Taira clan. Shigemori is historically recognized for his efforts to moderate the aggressive policies of his father and for his role in the Heian period politics, which eventually led to the Genpei War (1180–1185).

The portrait is executed in the yamato-e style, a classical Japanese painting genre characterized by its narrative and decorative elements, often featuring figures from Japanese history and literature. Takanobu Fujiwara's work is particularly significant as it represents the idealized aesthetics and cultural values of the Heian court. The painting is believed to capture the likeness and character of Shigemori, showcasing the artist's skill in portraiture and his ability to convey the subject's inner virtues and noble status.

As a historical artifact, "Taira no Shigemori" provides insight into the visual culture of the Heian period and the ways in which important figures were commemorated and idealized through art. The portrait is also an important piece for the study of the Taira clan's visual representation and the broader context of Japanese feudal history.

The painting is preserved and has been designated as an Important Cultural Property by the Japanese government, reflecting its significance in the country's artistic heritage. It is often studied and referenced in discussions of Heian period art and the evolution of Japanese portraiture, making it a valuable piece for both art historians and those interested in the cultural history of Japan.
