My favorite book

"Tsurezuregusa (Essays in Idleness)" to be considered to be the one of the excellent essays in Japan was written by Kenko Yoshida in the 14th century.
I think that this book is the Japanese version of "Essais" by Montaigne and "Ta eis heauton" by Marcus Aurelius.
There is English translation by Professor Donald Keene.
