Review of 'A Cup of Sake Beneath the Cherry Trees' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I was kind of surprised by how modern this was. I guess a lot comes down to the translation. But it struck me that a monk 700 years ago had ideas that seem so contemporary, nevertheless.
Sometimes I forget that my ancestors must have had similar troubles than we do now, at least to some extent.
But there were some misogynistic undertones here and there so I didn't enjoy all of it.
Overall, it was a nice and very short read.
