Lips too Chilled by Matsuo Basho

Lips too Chilled by Matsuo Basho

Takes you on a balloon ride over Victorian London to a garden of blossom in Japan, from Tierra del Fuego to 16th century California and the Russian steppe. This work includes stories, poems, essays and ideas that have shaped the lives of millions. It deals with books from around the world and across many centuries.

Matsuo Basho, the Japanese poet and diarist, was born in Iga-ueno near Kyoto in 1644. He began to write verse while studying as the companion of the son of the local lord, and continued to write when he moved to Edo (now Tokyo) in 1667. He eventually became a recluse, and on his travels relied on the hospitality of temples and fellow poets. His work was much influenced by Zen Buddhism.
