  1. Aditya Rana

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

  2. Devansh Gupta

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

  3. Debjyoti Paul

    A truly beautiful and inspiring read! Basho’s words transported me. Highly recommended for anyone seeking peace and reflection.

  4. Swaraj Chandan Patil

    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.

  5. Gaurav Parmar

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

  6. Benkteshwer Nath Aman

    Beautiful, reflective, and thought-provoking. Some passages are hard to grasp, but the overall effect is powerful. The ending is really good.

  7. Neha Lalwani

    This book gave me a new appreciation for haiku. I loved learning about the journey and the people he met along the way.

  8. Sreekanth S

    I appreciated the historical context, but the writing style felt a bit dated. Still, a valuable piece of literature.

  9. Arihant Tyagi

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

  10. Piyush Ojha

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