A must-read for lovers of Japanese literature! Basho’s insights are timeless. It’s a slower read, but very rewarding.

I enjoyed Basho’s reflections on his journey. The haiku were a highlight! Some of the cultural context was lost on me, unfortunately.

Basho’s journey is beautifully rendered, but sometimes the haiku felt a bit dense for me. Overall, a worthwhile read for those interested in travel and poetry.

Interesting glimpse into th century Japan. The mix of prose and poetry is unique. It felt a bit repetitive at times, though.

A classic for a reason! The descriptions of nature are stunning. I found some sections slow, but the overall experience was profound.

The imagery is wonderful. The pacing was a bit uneven for me. I especially loved the author’s descriptions of the natural world.
