Turancao·abbott's Notes
Literature徒然草·方丈记
(japan) Kaneyoshi Yoshida Kamo Nagaaki
"Grass in Vain" is an extensive prose essay. The author Kaneyoshi Yoshida integrates a lifetime of rich experience and insight into short and casual words. It contains not only warnings and insights, but also anecdotes and customs of the four seasons. When this long scroll, which consists of 243 short essays, slowly unfolds, the social scene of Japan's late Kamakura period and Yoshida Kaneyoshi's Zen enlightenment that eliminates glitz and glamor emerge vividly on the page. "Hojo Chronicles" was written in 1212 and is known as the pinnacle of Japanese hermit literature. It is a collection of essays in which the author Ya Changming recalls his life experiences, describes the great changes in the world, and expresses his feelings about the impermanence of the world. This work has had a profound impact on Japanese literature, history, thought and other aspects, and is cherished as a cultural treasure by Japan.
