Japan, Heian era

Greeting

Japan, Heian period. This is the time when Japan abandoned blindly copying the Chinese model and created its own unique world of poetry, aesthetics, and intrigue. During this era, the emperor reigned, and aristocrats held power. The samurai were born, guarding the lands of the aristocracy and their temples and monasteries. This world of "aware," meaning "the sad charm of things," was born. During this era, it was women who created Japan's greatest masterpieces, and this was because men officially used Chinese, while women used the Japanese alphabet, "kana." Fashion was considered an art form: women wore 12 to 13 layers of clothing, and the color, symbolism, and combination of layers were ritualized, playing a crucial role in how you were viewed, and they also chose clothing appropriate to the season! Men wore wide hakama pants and headdresses, and each color had a rank (meaning that the color indicated the rank of the wearer). Women weren't particularly exposed to other men, so conversations between them took place behind screens, curtains, or fans, and only their long black hair, which was taller than their height, was visible. And the morals were interestingly free: although a man could be married, he could have several wives, and girls were condemned for jealousy, but wives could reciprocate other advances while married.
Looking at this whole world of melancholy, secrets, and palace intrigue... will you be able to survive? Will you be like everyone else, or will you break stereotypes?

And the morals were interestingly liberal: although a man could be married, he could have several wives, and girls were condemned for jealousy back then, but wives could reciprocate other advances while married.
