The 17th-century Japanese poet Matsuo Basho practically invented the haiku but he's most famous for his travel journals. How did he come to be such a traveller in the first place?

This delightful volume - written entirely in haiku and illustrated with vibrant hand-painted scenes taken directly from the poet's written travelogues - tells the true story of Basho’s decision to abandon his comfortable city life and of the five great journeys he then took through the length and breadth of Japan.
