    Japan has a rich cultural heritage including unique forms of literature and art. Murasaki Shikibu wrote what is considered the first novel in the world in the 1000s, while Sei Shonagon wrote a collection of true stories. Noh and Kabuki were early forms of Japanese drama, with Noh originating from Shinto rituals and Kabuki developing as a contrast using more dramatic stage effects. Japanese artists also adapted Chinese painting styles and calligraphy to create their own ink paintings.
