2. Hōjōki​, variously translated as "An Account of My Hut" or "The Ten Foot Square Hut", is an important short work of the Kamakura period (1185–1333) in Japan by Kamo no Chōmei. Written in 1212, it describes disasters that befall the people of Kyoto from earthquakes to famine and fire. Chōmei becomes a Buddhist monk and moves farther and farther into the mountains, eventually living in a 10-foot square hut. It belongs to the zuihitsu genre.
