・The Bloom of Courtly Culture
The court, including the Emperor, the imperial family, and their attendants, was a birthplace of cultural elements. It gave rise to seasonal events, waka poetry like the Kokin Wakashu, narrative literature such as The Tale of Genji, and refined court attire and scents. This culture, known as "miyabi" captivated both its contemporaries and future generations. This exhibition explores the court culture developed and maintained by the Heian period and beyond.
