The Middle Ages in Japan cannot be called the Dark Ages - it was a time of unprecedented cultural flourishing. The Heian era will forever remain in history thanks to its refined poetry, painting and literature. But both inside and outside the Imperial Palace, there was a different life, full of dangers and hardships. Intrigues were woven in the chambers of the courtiers, ordinary people suffered from hunger, epidemics and countless disasters, and magical threats and horrors of the afterlife kept both in fear. This book invites you to look into different corners of the ancient Japanese capital of Heian-kyo: from the houses of aristocrats and the huts of commoners to the dwellings of mystic monks and onmyoji sorcerers. The amazing life that was in full swing in these and other places largely determined the culture of modern Japan, which has conquered the whole world.
