Shortlisted for the NSW Translation Prize Discover a realm of
travel writing undreamed of in the West - a richly literary
tradition extending through a thousand years and more, whose
individual works together weave a dense and beautiful brocade of
repeated patterns and motifs, tones and textures. Here are asobi,
the wandering performers who prefigured geisha; travelling monks
who sleep on pillows of grass and listen to the autumnal insects;
and a young girl who passionately longs to travel to the capital
and read more stories. Taking in songs, dramas, tales, diaries and
above all, poetry, this wonderful anthology roams over mountains
and along perilous shores to show how profoundly travel inspired
the Japanese imagination.
