Heian
Keywords: Culture & History
The Heian period (平安時代) in Japan ran 794-1192, and was a high point in the courtly culture.
Japanese-language literature such as Genji Monogatari flourished (alongside Chinese-language literature); and we know from it that go was part of the court life.
In Hikaru no Go, an anime and manga series, a character named Fujiwara-no-Sai is from the Heian era.
