A big focus in Heian-Kyo
Small pointed beards for men, and long hair for women were seen as attractive
White teeth were seen as unnatractive
Both men and women wore perfume
Some women wore up to 12 layers of silk robes
Etiquette in people was admired at this time
Courtship played a key role in society, and was very strongly present

ENTERTAINMENT
Horse racing, sumo wrestling, and archery contests
Kemari and Rango were common games people played
Many festivals took place
Dancing was an important part of these festivals

ART
People made sculptures out of wood
They developed their own art called Yamato-e
A man named Jovho was an influential artist
Eventually, they branched off from religious artwork, and made paintings called ‘story-paintings’
The most famous paintings are scroll paintings
9.
LITERATURE
Poetry was an important part of Heian culture
They used characters called the Kana, which were simplified Chinese characters
Katakana was a more formal way to write, while Hiragana was used for more casual things, like writing in a diary
A very popular piece of writing to this day is The Tale of Genji
People believed that handwriting revealed character
10.
WHY WAS IT A GOLDEN AGE?
The Heian period had many advances in important fields
Heian-Kyo made a long lasting impact on Japan, and the world as a whole
The Tale of Genji had the same influence on Japan as Shakespeare had to us
Dramas present in Japan’s society today are reflective of Heian’s theater practices
