Historically Nara was the capital of Japan and the seat of the Emperor during the Nara period from 710 to 794, before the capital was moved to Kyoto. This ancient capital has three registered World Heritage Sites: âHistorical Properties of Ancient Nara,â âBuddhist Monuments around Horyuji Temple,â and âSacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range.â Culturally, the method of making ink was introduced to Japan in 610. It then developed in Nara. More than 90% of Japanâs ink is produced in Nara, and the brand has been established as âNara Sumi.â
