Classical Japanese Travel Writing from the Manyōshū to Bashō
Trans. Meredith McKinney
Tracing a thousand years of literary travel writing in Japan, this selection of poetry and prose ranges from the 8th-century verse anthology Manyōshū to the work of 17th-century poet Bashō. The pieces reflect the experiences of men and women travelling the lonely roads of medieval Japan, and include the celebrated Pillow Book of Shei Shonagon. Five maps show the regions the writers traversed. Slightly off-mint and felt-tip mark on lower trimmed edge.
