This is actually a clever pun, especially considering that it’s coming out of Asia.
There were several famous Pillow Books, if I remember correctly they were often written by women who were in high social/court circles, and widely distributed and read. They were something of a cross between a diary, poetry book, and gossip column…. though seldom referring to people by name, a Pillow Book would often give sideways hints at who was sleeping with who, way back when.
Thanks bookishboy for that bit of information. Very interesting.
