Oshu Alley

About This Novel

In the second year of Genroku (1689), Basho left Edo, accompanied by his disciple Kawai Soryo, and traveled around Ou and Hokuriku on foot for 5 months, covering a distance of about 2,350 kilometers, and finally arrived in Ogaki. He recorded what he saw, heard, felt, and realized in exquisite writing, and compiled it into a book - "Oshu Trail" in the form of prose and haiku. It pushes the theory of "not easy to become popular" advocated by Matsuo Basho to the extreme, and is also the pinnacle of ancient Japanese travel literature.
