Kagerō Nikki
is a work of classical Japanese literature, written around 974, that falls under the genre of ''nikki bungaku'', or diary literature. The author of ''Kagerō Nikki'' was a woman known only as the Mother of Michitsuna. Using a combination of waka poems and prose, she conveys the life of a noblewoman during the Heian period.
''Kagerō Nikki'' is often called ''The Gossamer Years'' in English, which is the title given to the first English translation by Edward Seidensticker. The term ''kagerō'' has three possible meanings: it may mean a mayfly; a heat wave; or a thin film of cobweb, which is the meaning proposed by English Orientalist Arthur Waley.〔Seidensticker, Edward (trans.). Introduction, ''The Gossamer Years'', Charles E. Tuttle Company, Inc., 1964, 1994, p 8.〕
==Origin==
During the Heian Period, prominent families often collected and compiled their poems in a family collection, or ''kashū''. It is likely that Fujiwara no Kaneie, her husband, asked the Mother of Michitsuna to create such a collection for their family. However, because she decided to add her own experiences along with the poems that she and Kaneie exchanged, ''Kagerō Nikki'' emerged.〔Shirane〕 From the outset, the Mother of Michitsuna reveals her concerns by exploring the reality of her condition.
