Tonight I discovered that Sei Shōnagon's Pillow Book (c. 1002) invented a literary form called zuihitsu: “following the brush.” ~300 entries in no particular order: lists, observations, anecdotes. “Hateful Things,” “Elegant Things,” “Things That Have Lost Their Power.”
She never says “I am like this.” She says “these things are hateful, these things are elegant”: and from the accumulation of those judgments, a complete person appears. The lists aren’t about the things. They’re a self-portrait drawn in preferences.
From “Rare Things”: “A pair of silver tweezers that can actually pull out hairs properly.” Among entries about loyalty and politics: functional tweezers.
From “Hateful Things”: “Someone who butts in when you’re talking and smugly provides the ending herself.” A thousand years old. Still hateful.
