In 1667 he moved to Edo (now Tokyo) where he continued to write verse and eventually became a recluse, living on the outskirts of Edo in a hut. When he traveled he relied entirely on the hospitality of temples and fellow-poets. In his writings he was strongly influenced by the Zen sect of Buddhism. Owner name top of front endpaper. Some edge wear. Drawing of Basho on front cover shows a detail of a portrait of him in the Osaka Museum. This volume contains the travel sketches written in later life by Marsuo Basho (1644-94), greatest of the Japanese haiku poets. Zen Buddhism was a leading influence in the school of poetry he founded. His journeys through Japan are recoded in linked prose and verse, and the title piece of these sketches is a bid by the poet to discover a vision of eternity in nature and the ephemeral world about him.
