The Heian period, with the Japanese capital at Kyoto, is distinguished by literature as elegant and subtle as the style of the court itself. As in China, poetry is here considered an essential element of civilized life. The competitive writing of verses is a social pastime. A good poet can expect preferment at court. Messages from a lover to his mistress are welcome in poetic form, preferably attached to an arrangement of flowers.
In905 the emperor commissions an anthology of poems, in the tradition of the Manyoshu of earlier times. The new collection, the Kokinshu, consists almost entirely of short tanka. It is more artificial than its predecessor - and more restricting in its subsequent influence.
The greatest glory of this classical period works in prose, many of them by women. One important strand is the journals of court life. The earliest to survive, written in 974-7 by a noblewoman, is Kagero Nikki (translated into English with the title 'The Gossamer Years'). But by far the best known is the Pillow Book of Sei Shonagon.
Sei Shonagon serves as a lady-in-waiting to the empress during the 990s. Her delightful text is more like a commonplace book than a journal. It consists of unlinked passages recording her impressions and thoughts. Many are vivid tone poems, conveying the visual impact of a scene with a Brightness and clarity which seems to prefigure the Japanese color print.
The most distinguished writer of the Heian period, and indeed in the whole of Japanese literature, is another lady of the court. Known only by her pseudonym, Murasaki Shikibu, she is widowed in 1001 and is in the retinue of the empress from 1005. Her name would live in literature if she had written nothing other than the diary which she keeps of court life in the years from 1007 to 1010. But she also writes the extremely ambitious Genji Monogatari ('The Tale of Genji').
This chronicle of court life, focussing with rich characterization and psychological subtlety on the various women loved by Prince Genji, has a good claim to be considered the world's first novel.
Art, literature, and culture were firmly related to the church.
Explanation:
This is how religious literature occurs, and with it, there is a lyric that relates to the liturgical rite. The poems in secular literature most evoke the knights' love for their ladies. Also in this period drama is being shown, especially in churches.
These religious-themed dramas mostly talked about the life of Christ. At the end of the XI century, troubadours in southern France were singing about courtly love for a woman. Secular literature abounds in poetic poetry. During this period, great national epics emerged, and knightly novels appear, the most famous of which is The Novel of Tristan and Isolde.
The Alps are the highest and most extensive mountain range system that lies entirely in Europe, stretching approximately 1,200 kilometres across eight Alpine countries: Austria, France, Germany, and Italy.
As we know, President George H. W. Bush was very devoted to foreign affairs and had a conservative and pragmatic approach to it. When Bush became president it was his intention to soften relations between America and the Soviets. His relationship with the Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev was peaceful; both leaders discussed ways to strenghten their relations and signed an arms-reduction agreement.
