Hardcover. Condition: Good. Shōnagon became popular through her work The Pillow Book, a collection of lists, gossip, poetry, observations and complaints written during her years in the court, a miscellaneous genre of writing known as zuihitsu. Shōnagon's essays describe the various daily experiences and customs of the time, and the affairs of the Imperial Court in Kyoto where she lived, from a unique point of view.[6] The Pillow Book was circulated at court, and for several hundred years existed in handwritten manuscripts. First printed in the 17th century, it exists in different versions: the order of entries may have been changed by scribes with comments and passages added, edited, or deleted. Four main variants of the text are known to modern scholars. The two considered to be the most complete and accurate are the Sankanbon and Nōinbon texts. Later editors introduced section numbers and divisions; the Sankanbon text is divided into 297 sections, with an additional 29 "supplemental" sections which may represent later additions by the author or copyists.

hardcover. Condition: Very Good in Wrappers. y. London. 1967. Oxford University Press. 1st of This Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. Translated from the Japanese and edited by Ivan Morris. 326 pages. hardcover. The calligraphy reproduced on the jacket is from the Pillow Book Scroll (see section 100 of the translation). keywords: Literature Japan Women Translated . FROM THE PUBLISHER - The Pillow Book is one of the greatest works of Japanese literature, comparable in importance with its contemporary, The Tale of Genji - also written by a woman. Sei Shonagon, the author of The Pillow Book, was a Court lady born almost exactly one thousand years ago, at the very height of the Heian culture. This fascinating, and in many ways unique, civilization is the subject of Ivan Morris's earlier work, The World of the Shining Prince: Court Life in Ancient Japan (Oxford University Press and Knopf, 1964), which therefore serves as a general introduction to the present translation. The Pillow Book is the first example of a typically Japanese form of writing which includes some of the country's most valued literature. It is a collection of anecdotes, character sketches, lists of things the author liked or loathed, lists of places that interested her, diary entries, descriptions of nature, religious ceremonies, conversations, pilgrimages, poetry exchanges - indeed almost everything that made up daily life for the upper classes in Japan during the Heian period, originally jotted down in a notebook kept at the author's bedside or in the drawer of her wooden pillow. It is by far our most detailed source of factual material on the life of the time; it is also a work of great literary beauty, full of lively insights, humour, and subtle impressions of the world in which Sei Shonagon lived. Ivan Morris's is the first complete English version of this extra,' ordinary classic. Volume I contains his Introduction and the translation, together with a full reproduction of the drawings in the twelfth-century Pillow Book Scroll, hitherto unpublished outside Japan. In this volume he gives explanatory notes, an Index' Glossary, genealogical tables, drawings of articles mentioned, maps, and other aids to a full understanding of the text. inventory #43222.
