Kenkō, A Cup of Sake Beneath the Cherry Trees, trans. Meredith McKinney.

This small volume of excerpts from Essays in Idleness (c. 1329–1331), the work of a Japanese Buddhist monk, is no. 11 in the Penguin Little Black Classics series (2015).

Every post I’m making right now is a step away from them — “them” being current events. They may be found elsewhere.
