Nara, Japan's first permanent capital established in 710, was built without a defensive wall primarily due to the belief in the city's spiritual significance and the desire to promote cultural openness. The government aimed to foster trade, diplomacy, and cultural exchange, reflecting a confident approach to governance. Additionally, the location was chosen for its natural defenses, surrounded by mountains, which were considered sufficient protection against potential threats.
