Synopsis:
New edition. A record of Basho's journey to the deep north of Japan, the crowning achievement of a lifetime of wandering and Haiku poetry.
Basho (1644-1694), the most famous Haiku poet of Japan, recorded his many travels around Japan in his journals. Cid Corman's translation of Basho's most mature journal details the most arduous part of a nine-month journey he took with his friend and disciple, Sora, through the back lands north of the capital, west to the Japan sea, and back toward Kyoto. More than a record of a journey, the journal is a poetic sequence that has become a centre of the Japanese mind and heart. Detailed notes provide the reader with information that enriches the text, which has been illuminated with sumi-e by noted Japanese artist Hide Oshiro. |
