About This Novel
"Pillow" was the first of Japanese essay literature. It was written around 1001. It is the representative work of Seishonagon, a female writer during the Heian period in Japan. It is as famous as "The Tale of Genji" and is known as a double gem in Japanese Heian period literature. It is also known as the three major essays in Japanese literature together with the two books "Abbot's Chronicle" and "Turancao" that appeared later. The book is divided into 20 volumes and has a total of 305 paragraphs. It is divided into three parts: collection, diary and random thoughts. Most of them are what she saw and heard during her tenure in the palace. The emotions are delicate, the writing is light, and its authenticity and randomness can be seen everywhere. The so-called "reading starts from the page where the wind blows" is the charm of this book.
