Actualy I would not be suprised to learn that being a person in Heian country life would not give you a better life expectancy than court life. Apathy kills, it really does.
[nods] That's what I was thinking - people outside the court, especially out by the ocean, would at least have better access to fresh food and might bathe more often. Still be subject to a lot of the same diseases, though.
Yeah, but they'd still have better health and maybe not such an easy victims for disease. But you know, my father said it best: History? I wouldn't want to live there!
