Sometimes suggested reading for understanding the Japan of a thousand years ago, The World of the Shining Prince: Court Life in Ancient Japan will introduce you to Heian court life. If you like the diaries, memoirs, and tales of that period, then Ivan Morris's book would be entertaining and practical.
