The Pillow-Book of Sei Shonagon 1949, George Allen & Unwin. London later printing Classic World Literature Written by Japan's original blogger, a mistress of wry observation and scalding wit, Sei Shonagon's The Pillow Book retains its fresh, authentic appeal more than 1,000 years after its inception. Shonagon was a contemporary and presumed rival of Lady Murasaki, author of the “The Tale of Genji.“ Genji represents the glittering stage of classical, Imperial life, Shonagon's missive takes us into the everyday, comical corners backstage, to share the reality of daily court life. "The Pillow Book" is an intimate look at the experiences and outlook of the Heian upper class, further enriched by Arthur Waley's excellent translation and contextualization
