Significant literary trends included the increasing use of Japanese in preference to Chinese; the revival of native poetry in the Shinkokinsh (New Kokinsh), an imperial anthology of 1205; and the popularity of historical military tales written in rhythmical prose. Among the most famous works were Heike monogatari (Tale of the Heike) by Kamo no Chmei (1153–1216) and Tsurezuregusa(Essays in Idleness) by Yoshida Kenk (1283–1350).
