The Heian Period of Japan lasted from 794 until 1185.

The period is named for its capital of Heian-Kyo, which is present day Kyoto. It came to an end with the end of the Genpei War, in which the Minamoto clan came out victorious. This led to the establishment of the Kamakura Bakufu.

This period is well known for the literature and artistry that it produced.
