It also includes an insightful introduction by translator Sam Hamill detailing Bashos life and the art of haiku, three other important works by Basho-Travelogue of Weather-Beaten Bones, The Knapsack Notebook, and Sarashina Travelogue-and two hundred and fifty of his finest haiku, making this the most complete single-volume collection of Bashos writings.
