The Pillow Book of SEI Shonagon

The Pillow Book of SEI Shonagon Cover

 

  1. Kessinger Publishing specializes in reprints of rare, scarce, and out-of-print books. These are frequently facsimile editions of the original works and often the only version of the original text available. But, please note before purchasing: because of the condition of the original texts and difficulty in reproducing them, the reprints are sometimes difficult to read.

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

996 A.D., with later revisions. The translation of the diaries of a court lady in tenth-century Japan, it is a collection of anecdotes, memories of court and religious ceremonies, character sketches, lists of things the author enjoyed or loathed, places that interested her, diary entries, descriptions of nature, pilgrimages, conversations, poetry exchanges--indeed, almost everything that made up daily life for the upper classes in Japan during the Heian period.
