Description
by Quentin S. Crisp (Author), Beehive Crick (Illustrator)
Aiaigasa--1. (adverb) under one umbrella 2. (noun) a romantically shared umbrella.
Here, under one umbrella, shared by author and illustrator, are poems, zuihitsu (essays) and illustrations from a three-week sojourn in Japan in the autumn of 2015.
Covering over a dozen locations between Osaka in the south and Naruko in the north, this travelogue now and then crosses the older path of Basho, geographically, and the footsteps of the travellers awaken echoes of the past, both cultural and personal.
Far from a guidebook, this is a bewilderment of detours and digressions, a celebration of the intersections of shared experience, and a time-steeped meditation on the meaning of a life's attachment to a place that is not home.
