FROM SARAH:

I bet you’ve never seen a travel journal like this one! As Basho explores the world of ancient Japan, he records all of his adventures in hand-painted illustrations and masterful haiku poetry. Each haiku is like a small treasure, revealing how magical everyday moments can be when you slow down and take the time to notice.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

This delightful volume—composed entirely in haiku based on the poet's written travelogues and illustrated with vibrant hand-painted scenes—tells the true story of Basho's decision to abandon his comfortable city life and of the five great journeys he then took across the length and breadth of Japan.
