1928. Being two thirteenth-century Japanese classics, the Hojoki
and selections from the Heike Monogatari. The Hojoki consists of
the reflections of a recluse who had retired in disgust from a
world that was too full of violent contrasts and cataclysms, both
of animate and inanimate nature, to allow a sensitive person to
find it at all tolerable. If, though there are some Japanese
scholars who question it, tradition ascribes this work truly to
Kamono-chomei, it was disappointment at not being allowed to
succeed to the ancestral position of Lord Warden of the Shrine of
Kamo in Kyoto that caused him to forsake the world and go to live
in the hills. As can be seen from the Heike Monogatari, which
describes the period in more detail, Chomei was not singular in
being thus arbitrarily deprived of position and income, neither was
he the only one who sought refuge in nature and Buddhist
philosophy.
