		He is widely credited with raising the hokku form that would later be revised as haiku to its highest level, although in his lifetime, BashÅ was renowned as a poet of haikai no renga (semi-comic linked verse usually created with a group of poets).
		Again he produced a travel diary, The Narrow Road to the Deep North (Oku no Hosomichi), which is dominated by the concept of sabi: the identification of man with nature.
		Many of his hokku were in fact the first three lines of longer [[rengahaikai no renga]] (semi-comic linked verses usually created with a group of poets rather than standalone works, but they have been collected and published on their own many times).

		Oku no hosomichi is categorized as a travelogue (kiko-bun), a record of Basho's nomadic 150-day travel in the northeastern part of Japan.
		The word "hosomichi," meaning narrow roads, also points to the concept that the passage to the deeper part of nature is severe and narrow, compared to roads in the city which were relatively flattened and wide.
		It is no coincidence that the philosophy of "nature" flourished in the age that "nature" was swept away by culture and commercialism in the city.

		Perhaps no Japanese literary text is so ensconced in the canon as Bashôís travel record, Oku no hosomichi.
		In addition, it is one of a handful of so-called "classical" texts that has managed to gain a wider readership in the public at large, just as its author has gradually emerged as the ultimate icon of "Japanese" civilization.
		In this course we will read Oku no hosomichi and study its historical genesis first as a text in a specific poetic tradition (haikai), as a vehicle for the study of "classical" and "Edo period" culture, and finally as a "quintessential statement" of a certain aesthetic that is widely characterized as Japanese.

		The paved-riverbed story makes great copy, so it is no surprise that reporters have made it grist for their mill.
		Unlike some countries, where the basic joshiki is that "The Land" belongs to the Government first, and to property owners second (thus the principle of eminent domain), in Japan the last leader to even PROPOSE such a heresy was Shotoku Taishi, over 1500 years ago.
		Land owners in Japan demand that the government protect their property (that's what the Government is there for), and the Government has no power to force landowners to move out of unsafe areas such as flood-prone river basins.

		He composed stanzas of haikai no renga (a sequence of linked verses, usually by a group of poets), whose opening, and most important, stanza (hokku) was later separated as the verse form haiku.
		A master of hokku and the integration of verses in a sequence, Basho imbued what was a social pastime with the spirit of Zen, creating a serious literary form capable of profound artistic expression.
		The Oku no hosomichi [narrow road to the interior], a reflection in poetry and prose on his travels through the northern hinterlands, is his masterpiece.

	MH Book Review—Bashô's BACK ROAD TO FAR TOWNS
		Despite the title’s whiff of 18th century prolixity and sounding as though only portions of the cited works are included, this complete translation of the Oku no hosomichi is not excessively wordy, and includes the most extensive (one might almost say pedantic) set of notes available in English.
		This first hokku in the Oku no hosomichi, as I hope readers grasp by now, is extremely difficult to convey in anything like the condensed wording of the original Japanese, of which the romaji and a literal trot might read:

		It was no longer universally understood and appreciated by the masses; it was a pastime for members of the court only.
		But oku also means "within," so you could say one or the other-"the way north" or "the way within"-and both are true, and neither is. Basho's understanding, and the reason I think he chose a title that suggests both meanings, is that the way north is the way within.
		Ready psychologically, Basho was no longer threatened by danger and the unknown; he was confident that he would fulfill his destiny.
