Haiku tell the story of the poet Basho and the diaries he wrote while walking throughout Japan in the 1600s.
The seventeenth-century Japanese poet Matsuo Basho practically invented the haiku. He's most famous for his travel journals. But how did he come to be such a traveler in the first place?
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.
