In 1689, the poet Matsuo Basho set off on a five-month journey into the mountains north of the capital, Edo. Along the way he paused to compose poems that are today revered for their clarity of observation. Ostensibly a travel diary, "Narrow Road to the Interior" is artful and carefully sculpted, filled with rich allusions to literature and Zen. This volume includes the complete text in English with annotations, as well as an additional translation of a sequence of renga "linked verse" featuring Basho and his traveling companion, Sora.

Basho's "Narrow Road": Spring and Autumn Passages (Paperback) (ISBN: 9781880656204) Basho, Matsuo Quantity Available: 10
Book Description: Stone Bridge Press, United States, 1998. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 225 x 140 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Matsuo Basho (1644-94) is considered Japan's greatest haiku poet. "Narrow Road to the Interior" (Oku no Hosomichi) is his masterpiece. Ostensibly a chronological account of the poet's five-month journey in 1689 into the deep country north and west of the old capital, Edo, the work is in fact artful and carefully sculpted, rich in literary and Zen allusion and filled with great insights and vital rhythms. In "Basho's Narrow Road: Spring and Autumn Passages," poet and translator Hiroaki Sato presents the complete work in English and examines the threads of history, geography, philosophy, and literature that are woven into Basho's exposition. He details in particular the extent to which Basho relied on the community of writers with whom he traveled and joined in linked verse (renga) poetry sessions, an example of which, "A Farewell Gift to Sora," is included in this volume. In explaining how and why Basho made the literary choices he did, Sato shows how the poet was able to transform his passing observations into words that resonate across time and culture.
