	Sei Shonagon - Iridis Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Sei Shonagon (清少納言, ~965-10??) was a Japanese author and a court lady who served the Empress Teishi some years around 1000, known as the author of The Pillow Book (Makura no soshi).
		Sei Shonagun referred to the death of her greatest supporter lightly and didn't imply it was difficult.
		She is also known for her rivalry with her contemporary Murasaki Shikibu, who wrote The Tale of Genji and served the Empress Shoshi, the second empress of the Emperor Ichijo.

	Banana Yoshimoto’s Asleep
		Sei Shonagon is an example of a poet who picks up on simplicity, making the ordinary into the divinely beautiful in her poem "Elegan Things" she lists several ordinary items that bring her joy, such as "Duck eggs" or "A pretty child eating ice cream" (Shonagon 2289).
		Everything from the picture on the cover of her book, a simple, blue, cloudy background with a pillow, to the title of her book, Asleep, is very reserved, like many of the Japanese poets that we have read.
		Again, Sei Shonagon is a good example of this tradition.

	The Tufted Shoot: September, 2002
		Still, as a first stab, it has its uses.
		To wit, in the instant case: if Kij Johnson's The Fox Woman belongs in spirit primarily to the Heian world of Murasaki Shikibu and Sei Shonagun, then Across the Nightingale Floor looks to tales of proud warriors, ruthless warlords, and feuding clans for its most obvious source of inspiration.
		Oh yeah, and it has magic ninja assassins, which makes it unambiguously a fantasy, in my estimation, at least.
