    The Heian period in Japan saw the development of homes, architecture, and religion. Nobles lived in one-story homes while richer people had two stories. Pagodas and gardens borrowing from Chinese styles were popular. Buddhism arrived from Korea and China, establishing shrines containing Buddha relics alongside the native Shinto religion, and dividing into five sects that coexisted with Shinto.
