¡Hasegawa Ho Yo / Cho
Description
[Machine Translation] An essay from the Kamakura period. The main part is said to have been written around 1331. It consists of 244 paragraphs in two volumes, the upper volume and the lower volume. Written by Yoshida Kenko. The title is taken from "Tsure zure zure nareru warau" (I have nothing to do, I have nothing to do, I am bored), which is a reference to Kenko's self-deprecation. Kusa" means notebook. In plain, elegant Japanese, he writes about his wide-ranging views on life, his contemplation of nature, reminiscences, and hobbies after leaving the glamorous court at a young age, which he combined with his own contemplations and experiences. The essays are called the three great classical essays along with "The Pillow Book" and "Ise Monogatari" because of the underlying Buddhist view of impermanence, Confucian ethics, and moral outlook on life.
