Today’s Super Suiyoubi

The Narrow Road to OkuAs you may know, every Wednesday at TheJapanShop.com we do a Super Suiyoubi Special.

Last week I mentioned last week’s special here and a reader (quite probably my only reader) mentioned that because of that he found our store and bought the book. Well, hoping lightning will strike twice, here is today’s Special.

We’ve actually had this book as our special three times in the past few months. I had waaay too many of them, but this will be the last time we’ll put this book on sale for a while. It is a beauty and perfect as a gift item. If you click on the picture and jump over to the product page, you can watch a brief video showing off all the colorful pages.

Basho is probably Japan’s most famous poet. His made haiku all over Japan during his journeys. This book is a collection of one such journey.

We are also throwing in a FREE shitajiki ($2.50 value) for every Narrow Road to Oku order today. A shitajiki is a flat piece of hard plastic that is used as a hard surface to write on. This shitajiki has all the Hiragana and Katakana on a chart.

Sharing is caring!

  • I am really impressed with those Readers, but I’m actually all sold out! As soon as I get more in, I’ll try to make a video showing them off. It is hard to see what they are like just from pictures.

  • What happened to the penny?
    I think it is resting quite nicely in my bank account. It might just be used to purchase Japanese Graded Readers Vol. 1 with CDs though. That set looks rather good.

  • Thanks! It is truly a beautiful book. I bought it way back in 1999 in Japan to send to my parents.
    So what happened to that penny? I remember being able to buy gum from a gum machine for a penny. No more…

  • I think I bought this book when you first put it up. I remember checking the prices between thejapanshop.com and amazon.co.uk. Including postage and packaging I saved a penny buying it from your shop.
    I love haiku. It is very inspiring. Oh, and I read your blog too.
