On foot along the Tokaido Highway
29.99 €
The author of "On Foot the Tokaido Road," Japanese writer Jippensha Ikku (1765–1831), was one of the most renowned literary figures of his time, and this book—his life's work—became a true bestseller. It recounts the journey of two carefree, reveling friends, Yaji and Kita, across Japan in 1802. Along the way, they experience incredible pleasures and overcome countless hardships, witness breathtaking landscapes and encounter hilarious adventures, and, most importantly, encounter an endless stream of "wanderers along the roads of Japan"—samurais, commoners, pilgrims, charioteers, merchants, maidens of pleasure, swindlers of all stripes, and many others—through whom the heroes, and subsequently the reader, become acquainted with the diversity of life against the backdrop of the country's vast panorama. The book is provided with detailed commentary, indexes and is richly illustrated by the author himself, Jippensha Ikku.
