Answer 1

The Heian period (794–1185) — Japan’s “golden age” of culture — is most closely associated with the refined imperial court culture in Heian-kyō (Kyoto): aristocratic rule by the Fujiwara regents, the flowering of literature and poetry (e.g., The Tale of Genji), and the development of kana writing and court aesthetics.
