Sleep on this

Alison at 6.5st has done a really exquisite version of The Pillow of Sei Shonagon from the book. I hope it’s ok to show Alison’s pictures. Click on the photos to read the many adoring comments on Flickr.

I personally have a very strong opinion about how such pillows should be used. They shouldn’t just sit around looking pretty. If you’re really going to soak in the poetry, you have to put your head on them. :)

Read more about it in the NY Times and at the Institute for Figuring.
