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.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 177mmItem Length: 127mmItem Weight: 113gAuthor: BashoTranslator: Cid CormanContributor: Cid Corman (Translated by)Genre: Poetry & DramaBook Series: Companions for the JourneyItem Width: 7mmRelease Year: 2004 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
