Basho’s hauntingly beautiful account of his journey through late C17 Japan is an unparalleled work, in which he weaves together his travel experiences and haiku; Enchi and Tanizaki are two of Japan’s most important C20th novelists while Kawakami is a smart new kid on the block; Poschmann’s deadpan comic novel was short listed for the International Booker Prize in 2019 and is a gem, while Anna Sherman’s evocation of the relics of an older Tokyo still to be found within the modern city is a work of great sensitivity and intelligence.
