In 2014 I walked a part of the journey of Matsuo Basho 'Oku no Hosomichi' or Narrow Roads to the deep North. I put the lines of the original route of Basho on the map of Noord-Holland The Netherlands. 

This walking tour is an unfinished project. I walked in different stages from my residence in Amsterdam to the area of Hoorn. 

Basho was a Japanese poet and he lived from  1644-1694. He walked this journey from 1689-1691 from Edo to Hiraizumi (Island Honshu) and back through the Western side of the island  to Edo (Tokyo). The distance of this journey was 2400 km. 

In 2025 I will walk from Kampen to the north of the Netherlands on the lines of Basho's journey. On some stages of this walk I will invite artists for a walk & talk.The collection of these walks & talks I will collect in a publication. I will also add texts, maps, photo's and drawings.
