This work's narrator jokes that "a tiger doesn't look like it would need a staff!" while commenting on the way the word "knotweed" is written. It describes a man reciting "Snow lay upon such-and-such hills" before leaving a group gathered in front of a brazier in a section that delights in the effects of a thin snowfall. Two characters flirtingly discuss the effects of a false cock's crow on a barrier in one of this book's many sections about the Controller First Secretary (*) Yukinari. Examples of the most memorable sections of this book include "Pleasing Things", "Embarrassing Things", and "Deeply Irritating Things". Like Essays in Idleness and An Account of My Hut, this work belongs to the zuihitsu genre. For 10 points, name this collection of poetry, lists of various things, and thoughts about Heian court life by Sei Shonagon.
