The current Imperial House emerged in the sixth century and the first permanent imperial capital was founded in 710 at Nara, which became a center of Buddhist art, religion and culture.
The development of a strong centralized government culminated in the establishment of a new imperial capital at Heian-kyō (modern Kyoto) and the Heian period is considered a golden age of classical Japanese culture.
Over the following centuries the power of the reigning emperor and the court nobility gradually declined and the once centralized state became increasingly fractured.
By the time of the fifteenth century political power was subdivided into several hundred local units, or so called "domains" controlled by local daimyō, each with his own force of samurai warriors.
After a long period of civil war Tokugawa Ieyasu completed the unification of Japan and was appointed shogun by the emperor in 1603.
He distributed the conquered land among his supporters, and set up his "bakufu" (literally "tent office" i.e. military rule) at Edo (modern Tokyo) while the nominal sovereign, the emperor, continued to reside in the old capital of Kyoto.
The Edo period was prosperous and peaceful. Japan terminated the Christian missions and cut off almost all contact with the outside world.
