History |


The Heian period began in 794 when the capital of Japan was moved to Heian-kyō. It lasted until 1185, which is the beginning of the Kamakura period.[2]


In this period Kyoto was the center of Japanese culture. It was also in this period that the first known novel was published. Its author was a woman. Poetry was very popular in Heian-kyo at the time.
