The 헤이안 시대 (Heian period) lasted from 794 to 1185 in Japan. It is known for its cultural and artistic achievements, particularly in literature and poetry. The capital was moved to 헤이안쿄 (Heian-kyo), now known as 교토 (Kyoto), which became a center of culture and politics. During this time, the 귀족 (nobility) flourished, and the 가문 (clan) system played a significant role in society. Notable works like 겐지 이야기 (The Tale of Genji) were created, reflecting the era's aesthetics and values. The Heian period laid the foundation for many aspects of Japanese culture that are still appreciated today.
