TIPS 106: E'The Ten Foot Square Hut'

A book that was published in 1212.
Penned by Kamo no Chomei.
A famous work that joined together kanji, katakana, and hiragana,
combining both Japanese and Chinese characters.
Together with Kenkou Houshi(also known as Yoshida Kenkou)'s Essays in Idleness
and Sei Shonagon's The Pillow Book,
it has been called one of Japan's Great Three Writings.

By "writings", it means a list of the author's
personal observations, thoughts, and so on at the time
they were written.
With this information, we can say with confidence that
The Ten Foot Square Hut is an essay written during the Kamakura period.
... And so on and so forth, but what's most important to remember is that we hope
you take your entrance exams fair and square.
Please don't try to pull a stupid stunt like Kurumi did.
