Hojoki (An Account of My Hut)
方丈記
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK
What kind of freedom do we attain when we let go of everything we own?
📝ONGO's Reflection
Seeing the record written by an author who lost everything amid repeated disasters and wars and then built a small hut deep in the mountains, I let out a deep sigh. Withdrawing from the clamor of the world and contenting himself with a cramped space of three tatami mats, his detached figure strikes at the very heart of my own life, bound as it is to endless possession. This small, thin book quietly proves that an empty space can be the most abundant refuge of all.
