🏯 Imagine waking up in Kyoto in the year 1000, surrounded by incense, mist and silk robes with twelve layers. Today we walk hour by hour through the home of a noble in Heian-kyō, the capital of Murasaki Shikibu, Sei Shōnagon and an emperor who gave his cat a court rank. 🐱
In this immersive journey you'll discover:
✔️ Why nobles painted their teeth black
✔️ How people lived without chimneys or fixed toilets
✔️ What they ate, what they wore and how they fell in love
