## What is IdleNotes?

Read slowly.

Idle Notes is a quiet space for reading Japanese classical literature —
not as study, but as experience.

Begin with:

* Tsurezuregusa — reflections on life and time
* Hōjōki — impermanence and retreat
* The Pillow Book — observations, lists, and small delights

Each work is presented in short passages, designed for calm, focused reading.

You can:

* read one passage at a time
* explore by theme (The Pillow Book)
* listen using built-in voice support
* continue at your own pace

Start with free passages.
Unlock each work to read in full.

There is no rush.
Only a place to return to.
