Quickly breaking down the main points of Japan's fifth historical era: the Nara Period (710 CE - 794 CE)! This video is aimed at people who want a simple and broad overview of Japanese history, as well as those who want a quick and easy way to brush up on what they already know. Topics covered include the moving of the capital to Nara, the implementation of the Taika Reforms, the problems with the Ritsuryō tax system, and a quick summary of the era's major political players and events.

Main video music:
Otowabi (   / @otowabi  )
(Sadly the creator of this music seems to have taken down their website, but their awesome Japanese-style tracks can still be found on their YouTube page that I've linked.)
Intro and outro beats by me, with some samples used.
