    Brush Talk by

    Heian jidai | Heian Period
    Summary

    Vexing things--When something petty that one has said finds its way back to the ears of the person in question. Going on a retreat to a temple and finding someone already there whom you would rather not meet, but of course having made the preparations, you cannot simply leave.

    Bangai (Apocrypha) by

    Heian jidai | Heian Period, The Pillow Book - Sei Shônagon
    Summary

    Things that enliven a winter's day--The guileless chatter of a small child. The sound of some low-born person passing by out in the cold, while you are inside in the warmth. Reading out loud. A witty acquaintance coming to visit, and not staying so long as to wear out their welcome.
