When it comes to Japanese prose, it is necessary to analyze Japan's character and customs. Japanese people are used to looking at the sea with a drop of water, and are good at making bonsai art. Isn't prose a kind of "micro-carving art", through which we can look down and see through the essence of life and the mystery of the universe. Don't those short and pithy essays show the wisdom of the Japanese? Many people in Japan write books because of that instant feeling. When you read them, you should deeply understand them in a transposition way. There is a book called Japanese prose classics, which is not bad. Let me give you the catalogue.

The preface is as follows: Japan is a curious nation and is full of concern for all kinds of information from the outside world. Even in the historical period of locking up the country, it was through the window of the West, the Netherlands, that it paid attention to the progress of European civilization and absorbed the achievements of western natural science, forming the so-called "orchid study". At the same time, this nation is introverted, even a little autistic, and is unwilling to disclose its information to the outside world. Whether he sent Tang Shihua in his early years or introduced western learning to the whole country after the Meiji Restoration, his focus was on practicality and the spirit of "transitivity" that emphasized practice. For the maintenance of traditional culture, caution is almost stubborn. Some Japanese scholars compare Japan to a black hole in space: it can absorb the energy of all substances around it indefinitely, but it does not allow any light and heat to radiate from itself, so the outside world can't see clearly. Japanese prose is based on the unique and multifaceted cultural psychology and aesthetic taste of the Japanese nation.

Prose in the literary sense evolves, develops and matures in the practical application of language and writing. Pillow Grass, known as the first collection of essays in Japan, stood out in the prosperity of female palace literature, especially diary literature in Heian period (794- 1 192). Pillow Grass has about 300 paragraphs. It turns out that, as the author of Maid-in-waiting, the words "recording natural feelings with your own taste" are generally "seeing in your eyes and thinking in your heart". The author is young, familiar with genealogy, Song Dao and Sinology. The elegance of artistic taste and the sensitivity of body and mind are outstanding. His words are concise and fluent, lively and witty, and his natural and frank narration reveals his intelligent and competitive character, even naughty and willful. The expression of pillow grass is intuitive, good at capturing instant impressions and feelings in very subtle things, and good at discovering trivial interests in daily life, which embodies the unique aesthetic character of the Japanese nation.
