This bilingual haiku collection is a homage to Tsureure-gusa (lit., "idle essays") by 'Yoshida' Kenkō (1283-1352; generally known as "Kenkō-hōshi" [Monk Kenkō]; his real surname was arguably Urabe). The 243 essays written by this hermit-like monk in Kyoto in the mid-14th century are characterized by witty anecdotes and wise aphorisms, as well as by deep insight into arts and aesthetics. Tsureure-gusa is considered one of The Three Great Essays in Japanese classic literature.
This haiku collection (2022) presents original haikus written by this author, inspired by Kenkō-hōshi's essays. Part I refers to 81 essays (and the preface) by Kenkō-hōshi in the order in which he compiled them and introduces 89 original haikus by this author, with annotations where applicable.
