The Northern OtherThe Far North fascinates.From antiquity to today, explorers, scholars, and poets have characterized it as 'other' , 'exotic' , or 'different' .An exemplar is that of the celebrated Japanese poet Matsuo Bashō, who went on a long journey from Edo to the northern interior of Honshu in the late seventeenth century ce and captured his experiences of this journey in his Oku no Hosomichi (The Narrow Road to the Deep North).In this work, he composed a haiku that illustrates the allure of the Far North:初やおくの (hajime ya oku no) 田植うた (taueuta).(The beginning of all art | in the deep north | a rice-planting song)
