Description

Lady Sarashina’s memoir, written in the early 11th century, offers a rare, intimate glimpse into the life of a Heian-period lady-in-waiting. Born in 1008, she records her travels, pilgrimages, and reflections with a quiet lyricism that makes her work one of the earliest and most distinctive examples of Japanese travel writing.


Why You Should Read?

  • Captures the inner life and experiences of a Heian-era noblewoman.
  • Recognised as an early and unique contribution to Japanese travel literature.
  • Ideal for readers interested in classical literature, cultural history, and women’s voices of the past.
  • This edition presents a clear, accessible translation that preserves the work’s subtle beauty.
