Basho (1644-1694) is the most famous Haiku poet of Japan. He made
his living as a teacher and writer of Haiku and is celebrated for
his many travels around Japan, which he recorded in travel
journals. This translation of his most mature journal,
Oku-No-Hosomichi, details the most arduous part of a nine-month
journey with his friend and disciple, Sora, through the backlands
north of the capital, west to the Japan Sea and back toward Kyoto.
More than a record of the journey, Basho's journal is a poetic
sequence that has become a centre of the Japanese mind/heart. Ten
illustrations by Hide Oshiro illuminate the text.
