The Rise of the Samurai
The Heian Court
In 794, the Japanese emperor’s court settled in the new capital city of Heian.
The imperial court at Heian was divided into different ranks, or levels, of nobles.
Influence and privileges depended on a noble’s rank. Most officials were from noble families.
Discuss with students the characteristics of an imperial court. In Japan (as well as other royal courts in other nations), court life is usually very rigid and based on a strict protocol. Privilege and rank are sought after and petty squabbles can be common (as shown in Lady Murasaki’s myStory). At the same time, imperial courts can encourage the arts and other cultural developments of the society in which they exist.
