I have never actually read the book before. I've only seen small samples of it here and there. It seems very interesting, so I'll definitely buy it when it's released.
Shonagon's Pillow Book is eximious -- ardently intimate, occasionally poignant, surprisingly amusing and replete with intricate recounted details concerning court intrigues, ceremonies, procedure and proprieties, all interlarded with no few opinions and decidedly subjective observations. It's highly commendable, esp. paired with Lady Murasaki's diary.
It's been a week since I created this account and I can finally write comments here now. I just want to say thanks to all the people who have followed my site. ^_^
Regarding your theme copyright concern, you are safe. There are two aspects: its code and its graphical elements. Since you wrote the code yourself without even having access to the original theme ("cleanroom rewrite"), there are no potential issues. As of its look, a simple arrangement of geometric shapes (no matter how nice it looks) is not copyrightable in most places.
The Pillow Book is one of the most beautiful and poetic things I've ever read. It definitely needs more translations.
