¡Gendai Go Yaku Hojo Ki(Iwanami Gendai Bunko Bungei 259)
¡[Kamonochomei / Cho] Sato Haruo / Cho
Description
[Machine Translation] The "Hojoki" is a masterpiece of medieval essay literature in which the hermit Kamo Chomei depicted the transience of life and living in this world, which is constantly tossed about by changing times, politics, and natural disasters, in a heroic mixture of Japanese and Chinese, based on his profound view of impermanence. The work expresses the very spirituality of the Japanese people in a tense and flowing style. The masterful translation by Haruo Sato is a delight to savor. The book also includes a novel and three critical essays discussing the lineage of hermits Saigyo, Chomei, and Kenko.
