Notes at the head of the head

Japan, XI century. Life boils in the imperial palace: the courtiers weave intrigues, fall in love, sad, write poetry. And we know about all the details only because one lady from the Empress’s retinue came to mind a wonderful idea to keep a diary. Once her notes fell into the wrong hands and liked the first readers so much that they subsequently parted around the world.
"Notes at the head of the head" belong to the elegant genre of Japanese literature - Dzuhitsa, which means "after the brush". These are thoughts about life and well -aimed observations, gracefully bred in mascara on exquisite paper. And today, in the 21st century, we have the opportunity to enjoy the original, psychologically subtle, ironic, sensual work of a medieval writer named Say Synagon.
