Grass in Vain

About This Novel
"Turancao" is a collection of essays written by Master Kanehao during his travels. It is one of the three major collections of essays in Japan along with "Pillow Grass" written by Seishonagon and "Kojiki" written by Kamo Nagaaki. The book is divided into 243 paragraphs, varying in length, describing what is heard and felt in daily life, simple and friendly, and touching the soul. "In vain" is famous all over the world for the escapist truth revealed in its indifferent words, and has become a shining pearl of pure beauty in the history of Japanese classical literature. Reading it again today, more than 600 years later, is still full of fragrance and it is difficult to put it down.
