One of the world's greatest nature writers, Bash? (1644?1694) is well known for his subtle sensitivity to the natural world, and his writings have influenced contemporary American environmental writers such as Gretel Ehrlich, John Elder, and Gary Snyder. This volume concentrates on Bash?'s travel journal, literary diary (Saga Diary), and haibun. The premiere form of literary prose in medieval Japan, the travel journal described the uncertainty and occasional humor of traveling, appreciations of nature, and encounters with areas rich in cultural history. Haiku poetry often accompanied the prose. The literary diary also had a long history, with a format similar to the travel journal but with a focus on the place where the poet was living. Bash? was the first master of haibun, short poetic prose sketches that usually included haiku.As he did in Bash?'s Haiku, Barnhill arranges the work chronologically in order to show Bash?'s development as a writer. These accessible translations capture the spirit of the original Japanese prose, permitting the nature images to hint at the deeper meaning in the work. Barnhill's introduction presents an overview of Bash?'s prose and discusses the significance of nature in this literary form, while also noting Bash?'s significance to contemporary American literature and environmental thought. Excellent notes clearly annotate the translations. 606 $aAuthors, Japanese$yEdo period, 1600-1868$xTravel 607 $aJapan$xDescription and travel$vEarly works to 1800 615 0$aAuthors, Japanese$xTravel. 676 $a895.6/132 700 $aMatsuo$b Basho$f1644-1694.$0624482 701 $aBarnhill$b David Landis$01804617 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962827703321 996 $aBasho's journey$94352744 997 $aUNINA
