Yoshida Kenko was a Buddhist priest, a reclusive scholar and poet who had ties to the aristocracy of medieval Japan. Despite his links to the Imperial court, Kenko spent much time in seclusion and mused on Buddhist and Taoist teachings. His Essays in Idleness is a collection of his thoughts on his inner world and the world of Japanese life in the fourteenth century. He touched on topics as diverse as the benefits of the simple life , solitude , lust , the impermanence of this world , and reading . To enter Kenko's world is to enter a world of intimate observations, deceptively simple wisdom, and surprising wit.
