	Kenko
		Yoshida Kenko (1283-1350 CE) in his early career as a Japanese court official also emerged as a celebrated poet.
		A note of resignation that sometimes occurs in Kenko’s thought is probably due to the experiences of the turbulent period in which the writings were composed—rather in the way that Epictetus was influenced by the times in which he lived.
		Kenko ranged widely in his choice of subjects, touching on ardent love, social etiquette, house design, drunkenness, thought impressions, and the brief span of life.

	Kenko Essay
		As literacy and printing spread in the 1600s, Kenko became one of the best-known authors, portrayed as a sage by some, accepted in spite of his inconsistencies by the more practical, and converted into a wag in stage plays and satires, while his work spawned numerous imitations with similar titles.
		Kenko responded to unstable times as no lyric writer before him had, not simply lamenting but acknowledging changes in the world.
		The chastened crowd ushers Kenko to the front row.The unsettling effect of his juxtapositions and incompleteness is the purpose of the essays.

		In this, meet Kamo Chomei and Yoshida Kenko, two of the most lovable Japanese classical writers, both of which were Buddhists, and both spent their lives gazing at 'ukiyo' and wondering why the rest of the world never dug it.
		When Yoshida wrote his pieces (literally; they were scribbled on a stack of scraps of paper), Japan lost one of its truest heroes and role models of the samurai class of all times, Kusunoki Masashige (see the Bushido Heroes page).
		Yoshida was one of the most cheerful men around, who was always invited to poetry events mostly for his presence that lit up the sombre atmosphere.

	Essays in Idleness: The Tsurezuregusa of Kenko:0231112556:Kenko, Yoshida:eCampus.com
		Written sometime between 1330 and 1332, the Essays in Idleness, with their timeless relevance and charm, hardly mirror the turbulent times in which they were born.
		Kenko clung to tradition, Buddhism, and the pleasures of solitude, and the themes he treats are all suffused with an unspoken acceptance of Buddhist beliefs.
		Above all, Kenko gives voice to a distinctively Japanese aesthetic principle: that beauty is bound to perishability.

		These essays are Kenko's opinion, yet they can be taken as the opinions of Japan's society at the time of the writing.
		Kenko's work is very much that, as it is simply the random, frank thoughts of a man who lived through a time of great upheval and was involved with many tiers of society.
		While certainly Kenko's views on things were not the only ones of the time, they represent an ethic and aesthetic that saw its formation around this time and serves as an important guide to understanding the philosophies which developed in Japan.
