The first city in Japanese history was built in 710 A.D. in Nara's Heijo-kyo. It became the final destination of the Silk Road that connected Europe and Japan. The work was created to symbolize the powerful Japanese culture that has continued from the past to the present.

Heiji Corridor was premiered at the "1300th Anniversary Ceremony" held in Nara, Japan in 2010. The world knows that Japan's current capital is Tokyo. However, the first city in Japanese history was built in 710 A.D. in Nara's Heijo-kyo. A delegation from Japan at the time headed to Tang (present-day China) to learn about the international situation. By conveying the unfamiliar culture that existed on the continent, the Japanese felt that their eyes were greatly opened. The basic form of the Japanese nation was then established. Heijo-kyo became the final destination of the Silk Road that connected Europe and Japan. The work was created to symbolize the powerful Japanese culture that has continued from the past to the present.
