The Pillow Book
Shonagon, Sei
In the tenth century, Japan was both physically and culturally isolated
from the rest of the world. The Pillow Book recaptures this lost world
with the diary of a young court lady. Sei Shōnagon was a contemporary of
Murasaki Shikibu, who wrote the well-known novel The Tale of Genji.
Unlike the latter’s fictionalized view of the Heian-era court,
Shōnagon’s journal provides a lively miscellany of anecdotes,
observations, and gossip, intended to be read in juicy bits and pieces.
This unique volume was first rendered into English
in 1889. In 1928, Arthur Waley, a seminal figure in the Western studies
of Japanese culture, undertook a translation. The distinguished scholar
devised this abridged version of the text, re-creating in English the
stylistic beauty of its prose and the vitality of its narrative. Waley’s
interpretation offers a fascinating glimpse of the artistic pursuits of
the royal court and its constant round of rituals, festivals, and
ceremonies.
