Love to see classic Japanese literature on here ;) Can also recommend Sei Shonagon's Pillow Book, oshida Kenko's Essays in Idleness, and the Uji collection of medieval tales. This constitutes my life hack for decompression. Around 10-11 pm. Turn off everything. And focus your undivided attention…
…https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kendama and a Nintendo 3DS and a Sony Minidisc player and a box of 4x6 prints I made some of which are anime art and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukiyo-e and also a book or a copy of the Pillow Book. (This is not all I am into you will find some Italian and Russian futurist painting reproductions, maybe a book about Fuzzy Logic or Margaret Thatcher too. Probably the strangest thing about my backpack…
A broader perspective can never hurt. And you can't get more different than by going back. I'm currently reading Sei Shounagon's The Pillow Book. The author was a woman in the Heian court in Kyoto about 1000 AD, attendant to the Empress. By tradition it is a collection of her dairy entries, letters, poetry drafts and other personal papers, not…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_skin_in_Japanese_culture > 在日本，对白皙无瑕肌肤的偏爱至少从平安时代（794–1185）就有记载，比如在《枕草子》和《源氏物语》等书中均有体现。[1] 有句老话叫“一白遮百丑”（色の白いは七難隠す，iro no shiroi wa shichinan kakusu），意思是白皮肤的女人即便五官……
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_skin_in_Japanese_culture > In Japan the preference for skin that is white and free of blemishes has been documented since at least the Heian period (794–1185), as in books like The Pillow Book and The Tale of Genji.[1] There is an old proverb "white skin covers the seven flaws" (色の白いは七難隠す, iro no shiroi wa shichinan kakusu) which refers to a white-skinned woman being beautiful even if her features…
…on your assessment of Japanese. I would argue that Japanese is the most difficult written language in common usage / not artificial. Moreover, one of the greatest literary achievements of Japan, “The Pillow Book” is written entirely in hiragana. Today you have so much text that leans into the resolve of ambiguity that kanji lends that you’d lose a lot of writings were everyone to unlearn kanji, but I disagree…
很高兴在这里看到日本古典文学 ;) 我也推荐清少纳言的《枕草子》、吉田兼好的《徒然草》，以及中世纪的《宇治拾遗物语》。这是我解压的独门秘笈。大概晚上 10 到 11 点，把一切设备关掉，全神贯注地……

……https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kendama、一台任天堂 3DS、一台索尼 MD 播放器，还有一盒我自己印的 4x6 打印件，里面有些是动漫美术和 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukiyo-e，另外还有一本书或者一本《枕草子》。（这还不是我涉猎的全部，你还能找到一些意大利和俄罗斯未来主义画作的复印件，可能还有一本讲模糊逻辑或玛格丽特·撒切尔的书。我背包里最奇怪的……

视野开阔一点总没坏处。而且要说拉开反差，没有什么比回到过去更彻底了。我最近正在读清少纳言的《枕草子》。作者是公元 1000 年左右日本平安时代京都宫廷的一位女性，侍奉皇后。按传统说法，这是她的日记、书信、诗稿和其他个人文稿的合集，并不是……

……关于你对日语的评价。我认为日语是日常使用／非人工语言中最难的书写系统。而且，日本最伟大的文学成就之一《枕草子》通篇都是用平假名写成的。现在的文本大量依赖汉字来消除歧义，如果大家都不学汉字，很多文献就没法看了，但我并不认同……
