{"product_id":"back-roads-to-far-towns","title":"Back Roads To Far Towns","description":"Basho (1644-1694) is the most famous Haiku poet of Japan. He made his living as a teacher and writer of Haiku and is celebrated for his many travels around Japan, which he recorded in travel journals. This translation of his most mature journal, Oku-No-Hosomichi, details the most arduous part of a nine-month journey with his friend and disciple, Sora, through the backlands north of the capital, west to the Japan Sea and back toward Kyoto. More than a record of the journey, Basho's journal is a poetic sequence that has become a centre of the Japanese mind\/heart. Ten illustrations by Hide Oshiro illuminate the text.","brand":"White Pine Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54227911967064,"sku":"9781893996311","price":16.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781893996311.jpg?v=1765278025","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/back-roads-to-far-towns","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
