One of Sarashina Nikki strength stems from its dynamic storytelling ability, a quality that can appeal to any audience. In the memoir, Lady Sarashina recounts her experiences in a beautiful prose, interjecting stimulating poetry that do not distract from the flow of the work but instead provides avenues for a deeper understanding of her views. Lady Sarashina elegant and vivid writing truly allows for the reader to be immersed in the work. An example of such is the following: "In Suruga stands Mount Fuji […]there is no mountain like in the world. It has a most unusual shape and seems to have been painted blue; its thick cover of unmelting snow gives the impression that the mountain is wearing a white jacket over a dress of deep violet.”
