Bashō as Bat: Wayfaring and Antistructure in the Journals of Matsuo Bashō
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 March 2011
Extract
The japanese writer Matsuo Bashō (1644–94) is known in the West primarily as a haiku poet. But he was also a master of Japanese prose, both haibun (short pieces of poetic prose) and kikō (travel literature). It is in his prose, particularly his travel journals, that Bashō portrays a vision and a way of life that is profoundly religious.
