Beskrivning
'It was with aweThat I beheldFresh leaves, green leaves,Bright in the sun'When the Japanese haiku master Basho composed The Narrow Road to the Deep North, he was an ardent student of Zen Buddhism, setting off on a series of travels designed to strip away the trappings of the material world and bring spiritual enlightenment. He writes of the seasons changing, the smell of the rain, the brightness of the moon and the beauty of the waterfall, through which he sensed the mysteries of the universe. These writings not only chronicle Basho's travels, but they also capture his vision of eternity in the transient world around him.Translated with an Introduction by Nobuyuki Yuasa

    "Bashô had been casting away his earthly attachments, one by one, in the years preceding the journey, and now he had nothing else to cast away but his own self which was in him as well as around him. He had to cast this self away, for otherwise he was not able to restore his true identity (what he calls the 'everlasting self which is poetry", så står det i introduktionen till Penguin Books utgåva av den japanska poeten Matsuo Bashôs största verk Oku no Hosomichi. En resedagbok där vi får följa Bashô medan han reser och begrundar naturen och dess säsonger. I takten av långsamma slag målar Bashô poesi över sin historia. När dåtida japanska konstnärer ritade tavlor ville de inte att vi enbart skulle se bilden, utan också att vi skulle medvetet följa de penseldragen konstnären haft i åtanke. När Bashôs berättelse tar slut har vi följt många penseldrag, och tillsammans utgör de en bild som lätt blir till insikt.
