{"product_id":"2940169228977","title":"The Narrow Road to the Interior and Hojoki","description":"Japanese poetry is well-known for its clarity and concision, and Narrow Road to the Interior and H?j?ki are two of the best-loved, and most intensely Japanese, works of their kind; famous for their beautiful, delicate verse and subtle insight into the human condition. It has been said of Narrow Road that `it was as if the very soul of Japan had itself written it'. It takes the form of a travel diary, and traces the poet's journey from Edo (modern-day Tokyo) to the northern interior. H?j?ki, a much earlier work written by Ch?mei, a Buddhist hermit, is essentially a meditation on the transience of the world. Read by the famous classical Japanese actor Togo Igawa, the full beauty of its ancient cadences and rhythms is drawn out.","brand":"Naxos Audiobooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47122988368112,"sku":"2940169228977","price":9.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169228977_p0.jpg?v=1763675866","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169228977","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
