Taira
taira
タイラ is the name Taira in Japanese Katakana.
Note: Because this title is entirely Japanese Katakana, it should be written by a Japanese calligrapher.
Heike Star / Betelgeuse
hei ke boshi
平家星 is the old Japanese title for the Betelgeuse star in the constellation Orion.
While also known as Alpha Orionis or Betelgeuse in the West, this was the “Heike star” in Japan.
The powerful Taira clan, known colloquially as the 平家 (Heike clan), adopted this star's red color as its symbol sometime in the late 800s AD. They called the star 平家星 (Heike-boshi).
