In the Heian court, literature played a central role in shaping cultural norms and values. Kana, a phonetic script, enabled more people, particularly women, to engage in writing and reading, leading to the flourishing of vernacular literature. This influence of kana helped democratize literature and paved the way for the development of unique Japanese literary forms such as diaries and novels.
