    Meagan Davenport
    The Heian Period saw the development of Japanese culture centered around the imperial court in Heiankyo (modern Kyoto). Literature flourished, including The Tale of Genji written by Murasaki Shikibu, considered the world's first novel. Poetry like waka and chōka were collected in anthologies like the Man'yōshū and Kokinshū. Courtly refinement and an appreciation of the pathos of things characterized Heian culture, which was insular and focused around court life and Buddhism.
