33、 modern poet Miyazawa Kenji said this about the book, “It was as if the very soul of Japan had written it.” The book is a collection of haibun, and Bashs writing reflects the everyday problems of travel, like lying awake at night, lying awake at night in a bed full of fleas, with a horse making nois

49、and for him, the haiku reflected the truth that can be found in nature. Does that help?Student 3: Well, maybe its because Im not Japanese.Professor: That could be.
