Pillow Book of Lady Kasa (Hardcover)

A grand tenth century love affair told by a beautiful lady-in-waiting in an ancient Japanese ePillow Booki, as stylistically perfect and lovely as light glittering among reeds on the Inland Sea at evening.

o Or is it a brilliant fake by the lovesick archeologist who pens the Introduction.... The presentation of the setting o an astonishingly recreated tenth century Japan o is as precise and evocative as the finest Japanese brush painting.
