Heian Period During this period, a new capital was established in (Heian-kyo) Kyoto. Peace reined for 400 years until the Fujiwara Family dominated the royal family by ensuring their daughters married the Heirs and ruled their children. Japanese culture thrived from literature to paintings. The Fujiwara clan was finally challenged by the Minamoto and Taira clans. This period ended with the Genpei War. It was won by the Minamoto clan. Yoritomo (leader of Minamoto) established the Kamakura Shogunate. (1 janv. 794 – 1 janv. 1185)
