This book marks the 300th anniversary of the poet's death. Basho is accepted as the greatest exponent of haiku (a poetry form unique to Japan that has a three-line, 17-syllable format and invariably linked with nature) which has captivated the imagination of millions of people of all ages around the world; it has a particular appeal to schoolchildren. |
