A coloring and tracing book based on The Pillow Book by Sei Shonagon. It is part of the Otona no Kyoyo Nurie & Nazorigaki series, supervised by Tadamoto Hachijo. The pictures show scenes from the diary entries, essays and lists in The Pillow Book.
The book is in a B4 variant size with 80 pages. It opens with a coloring guide: how to hold a colored pencil, how to fill an area evenly, how to use light and dark shades of one color, and how to show different materials and see-through cloth.
A Q&A chapter covers well-known passages, such as the opening lines on spring dawn, the story of the Empress's cat, and the list of things that make the heart beat faster. A commentary on The Pillow Book itself is also included.
Translated from the Japanese original.
