The crowd sourced encyclopedia's article on the work, read directly for this entry. Its strength is a clear account of the journey's dates, the haibun form and the work's standing as a major Edo period text. It is cited here for biography and publication history, not for the interpretive claim about Zen content, which the Yuasa translation's scholarly introduction supplies instead.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier3
Wikipedia's article on the work is a community edited reference page rather than a peer reviewed publication, hence the lower tier, though useful for a clear account of its dates, its haibun form and its standing as a major Edo period text. NotesRead directly. Cited for the 1689 journey, composition across 1690 to 1694, the 1702 posthumous first edition, the haibun form mixing prose and haiku, and Basho's own study under the Zen priest Butcho.
