high-definition creative commons posters depicting A Visit to Sarashina Village from Matsuo Bashō’s Walking Trips together with further information.
In A Visit to Sarashina Village (Sarashina Kikō), Matsuo Bashō travels along the treacherous Kiso road with his disciple Etsujin and a servant to view the full moon at Mount Obasute. Navigating dangerous mountain paths, precipices, and comical misadventures, Bashō reflects on human vulnerability and Buddhist providence. Reaching a humble inn, he drinks under the moonlight and composes verses celebrating autumn’s solitude, local life, and Zenkōji Temple.
