Japan's Heian Period in 8 Minutes
Quickly breaking down the main points of Japan's sixth historical era: the Heian Period (794 CE - ~1185 CE)! This video is aimed at people who want a simple and broad overview of Japanese history, as well as those who want a quick and easy way to brush up on what they already know — or what they already learned in Japanese History: The Textbook! Topics covered include the moving of the capital to Heian-kyo, the golden age of the Fujiwara, the flowering of unique domestic culture, the disintegration of the Ritsuryo land system, and the rise of the samurai — culminating with the Genpei War.
