I’d like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for this e-ARC. All opinions are my own.

I learned about Basho during my senior year in college, so I was interested to read this graphic novel. The illustrations are beautiful—they helped tell the story that was written in Haiku. These haiku tell the story of Basho “wandering around Old Japan.”

At the end, the author explains (in prose) how Basho is famous for writing his own haiku, and after explaining the structure of a haiku, encourages the reader to write one of their own.

Interesting read.… (meer)
