In the seventeenth century, the pilgrim-poet Basho undertook on foot a difficult and perilous journey to the remote notheastern provinces of Honshu, Japan's main island. Throughout the five-month journey, the master of haiku kept a record of his impressions in a prose-poetry diary later called The narrow road to a far province. His diary was to become one of the classics of Japanese literature.
