Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Pillow Book is one of the masterpieces of Japanese literature. Written during the Heian period by Sei Shonagon, lady-in-waiting of Empress Teishi, it is an impressionistic compendium of hundreds of things classified by categories ("Rare things", "Things that make the heart beat faster", "Things that bring up fond memories of the past", etc.) as well as everyday scenes at the Japanese imperial court at the turn of the 11th century.Peter Greenaway used the book as a basis for a movie, also titled The Pillow Book, which focuses on Kiyowara Nagiko, a modern-day fan and emulator of Sei Shonagon. Vivian Wu plays Nagiko and Ewan McGregor her Western boyfriend. | |

Alpha Bitch: Sei is this trope for the Empress's court, as the page quote clearly indicates. | |

Graceful Ladies Like Purple: And Heian gentlemen too. Violet, purple and mauve costumes are described over and over again. | |

Everybody Has Lots of Sex | |
| The Pillow Book / int_b532f68b | comment |
Everybody Has Lots of Sex: Sei describes in detail the proper decorum for a lover's visit and writes of gentlemen roaming the passages of the ladies' quarters, which is fine by her. She just doesn't think they should be doing it when on duty. | |

| The Pillow Book / int_d4f9a68f | comment |
Deadly Decadent Court: Despite being an account of everyday life in such a setting, Sei tends to skim over the political tensions and pretty much ignores the fact that the Empress and her faction are under attack from a competing branch of the Fujiwara family. | |
