Hōjōki: A Hermit's Hut as Metaphor
No Customer Reviews
Hōjōki is an extended reflection on the impermanence of the word written in Japan by the recluse Kamo no Chōmei around the dawn of the thirteenth century. The work is celebrated both for its poetic style and philosophical depth. The simplicity and consistency of the writing makes it ideal for teaching Classical Japanese. For its reflection on impermanence and non-attachment, Hōjōki is a model of Buddhist thought. Mindful of the fleeting nature of this world, Chōmei demands that readers reconsider what is most important in life. The message is as evocative as it is universal. This book presents the text of the Japanese original and English translation on facing pages with annotations and illustrations.
