''Oku no Hosomichi'' (, originally ), translated as ''The Narrow Road to the Deep North'' and ''The Narrow Road to the Interior'', is a major work of '' haibun'' by the Japanese poet Matsuo Bashō, considered one of the major texts of Japanese literature of the Edo period. The first edition was published posthumously in 1702.

Of ''Oku no Hosomichi'', Kenji Miyazawa once suggested, "It was as if the very soul of Japan ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
