As an example, this right over here is the Byōdoin Temple in Kyoto, which shows the level, and this is actually only part of it, and it shows the level of cultural advancement of this time. As I mentioned, the arts were a big deal, and women in the imperial court of Heian China had a lot of influence. In fact, the most influential family, the Fujiwara family, maintained its influence by having the emperors marry women from their family, and those women would end up having a lot of control over the emperor and, of course, the next emperor. But to get a sense of the arts of this period, here's an excerpt from The Tale of Genji, which was written by Lady Murasaki, who was believed to be a member of the Fujiwara family. And Lady Murasaki gets a lot of credit. Before Chaucer, before Shakespeare, she is, by many historians, viewed as the first true novelist that we know of in human history, not just Japanese history. But I encourage you to read it.
