The Grass of Idleness comprises a series of essays and letters by a fourteenth-century Japanese courtier and public official turned recluse. Having retired from public life, Yoshida Kenko devoted the rest of his years to writing the poetry practised by every Japanese of rank and essays that present a vivid and rather satirical picture of social and religious conditions, compared nostalgically with Japan's golden age.
