The Pillow Book of Sei Shonagon

The insightful and oft poetic musings of late 10th and early 11th century court lady, Sei Shonagon, attendant to Empress Consort Teishi in Heian Japan. Her attention is drawn to the political and philosophic, from the behaviour of emperors to common people. Written over 1,000 years ago, this is the rare and precious record of a highly sophisticated woman living a privileged and protected life at the Japanese Imperial Court.
