  • An Introduction to Durian Sukegawa's A Dosimeter on the Narrow Road to Oku

  • Durian Sukegawa, Alison Watts
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    14 March 2025, e1

  • In this introduction to an excerpt from Durian Sukegawa's travel memoir A Dosimeter on the Narrow Road to Oku, I give an outline of Sukegawa's biography, his reasons for undertaking a journey by bicycle in 2012 along Matsuo Basho's route in The Narrow Road to Oku, and the reasons for my own particular interest in this text. The translation covers the section of his journey from Fukagawa to Nasu. It won the 2021 Kyoko Selden Memorial Translation Prize in Japanese Literature, Thought, and Society.
