The Narrow Road to Oku (Paperback)

from jodihenley

Although Basho wrote the words, Sam Hamill brought them to exquisite life. This is a beautiful gem of a book. I've had and given away three copies. Shambahla always does a good job.

A nice translation of this important work. Nice pocket format.

A very neat little book with great art work. Translated by Sam Hamill. This is said to be one of the great works of Japanese literature; unfortunately all of the allusions to Japanese and Chinese literature, locations, events and religion, although pointed out in footnotes, didn't mean much to me...
