The Role of Poetry in Narrative Prose During the Heian Period

About 1000 years ago, the state of Japan we currently know is in the early stages of development. Meanwhile, thinking that China is the envy of the power consumption of China, "the center of the world" and many other countries, including Japan, it is borrowed its cultural elements to make it more like China I want to.
