Retreating from 'this unkind world', the poet and Buddhist priest Kamo-no-Chomei left for the mountains, constructing his famous 'ten-foot-square' hut. From this solitary point Chomei produced Hojoki, an extraordinary literary work that describes all he has seen of human misery and his new life of simple chores, walks, and acts of kindness.
