Description
[Machine Translation] The Hojoki is one of the most famous works of classical Japanese literature. The author, Kamo no Chomei, describes with realism the great fires, winds, relocation of the capital, famines, and earthquakes that he witnessed and experienced, and describes the human suffering and impermanence of the world that cannot be escaped from natural and man-made disasters and vicissitudes of life. Eventually, Chomei left the secular world behind and entered a quiet life in a hermitage at Hojo, where he enjoyed his life. However, he is unable to find true peace of mind, and instead, he deeply reflects on his own inner life and how one should live. This book is a definitive edition of this timeless classic, with a newly revised original text by a leading researcher of "Hojoki," an easy-to-understand translation into modern Japanese, and commentary that deepens understanding.
