Explanation and Etymology - (随筆) zuihitsu

随筆 (zuihitsu) is a Japanese word that refers to a personal and informal type of writing, which can include a variety of genres such as essays, journals, notes and reflections. The word is made up of two kanji characters: 随 (zui), which means "to accompany" or "to follow", and 筆 (hitsu), which means "brush" or "writing". The origin of the term dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when Japanese nobles used to write diaries and personal notes using brushes. Over time, the practice expanded to include other genres of personal writing, and the word zuihitsu came to be used to describe this form of writing. Today, zuihitsu remains a popular form of writing in Japan, and is often associated with authors such as Yoshida Kenko and Sei Shonagon.
