Nara (奈良市, Nara-shi) is the capital city of Nara Prefecture located in the Kansai region of Japan. The city occupies the northern part of Nara Prefecture, bordering Kyoto Prefecture. Eight temples, shrines and ruins in Nara remain: specifically Tōdai-ji, Saidai-ji, Kōfuku-ji, Kasuga Shrine, Gangō-ji, Yakushi-ji, Tōshōdai-ji, and the Heijō Palace, together with Kasugayama Primeval Forest, collectively form "Historic Monuments of Ancient Nara", a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
By the Heian period, a variety of different characters had been used to represent the name Nara: 乃楽, 乃羅, 平, 平城, 名良, 奈良, 奈羅, 常, 那良, 那楽, 那羅, 楢, 諾良, 諾楽, 寧, 寧楽 and 儺羅.
A number of theories for the origin of the name Nara have been proposed, and some of the better-known ones are listed here. The second theory in the list, by notable folklorist Kunio Yanagita (1875-1962), is most widely accepted at present.

There is no rest for the wicked ones
dear god - what is this evil that we've done??
Is it that we wanted more than you gave
why did you put us then
in this smalltown grave
humility –is that what you want?
why did you make us then the way you did??
yes,
we have pride
yes,
we have pride –
is this our sin?
is this our sin?!
4 O'clock in the morning,
still we cannot sleep
turning overturning round twisting in our sweat
they say there is no rest for the wicked ones
dear god - what have we done?
there is no rest for the wicked ones
dear god - what is this evil that we've done??
Is it the times that we've been out fighting?well i'll tell you all those times –
we never really hurt anybody
or is it that we were eating
while other people were starving
is this our crime?
is this our crime??!
4 O'clock...
Is it the times we laughed about it all
through all those whisky nights so far away
yes,
we have betrayed you
yes,
we have betrayed you –
is this our crime?
is this our crime?!
