Basho in National Geographic

Post by bohonato » May 17th, 2008, 9:27 pm

February 2008. Writer Howard Norman follows the path of Basho's Oku no Hosomichi or Narrow Road to a Far Province (1689). Accompanied by photographs by Micheal Yamashita, who (separately I believe) also followed the same trail.

excerpts from On the Trail of a Ghost

Sorry for the poor quality and scanning of some of these (the originals are obviously of far superior quality). All rights to respected owners, etc.
