The Heian Period was a golden age of Japanese culture, marked by peace, art, and the rise of an elegant court society. The imperial capital was moved to Heian-kyō, where nobles focused on literature, poetry, fashion, and rituals. While culture flourished, political power slowly shifted from the emperor to powerful aristocratic families and eventually to emerging samurai clans, setting the stage for Japan’s medieval age.
