                Yuki’s father governor in ancient Japan. Every Governor must travel between Edo and Kyoto, about 300 miles, twice a year. It is time for Yuki and her family to travel to Kyoto. This story tells of their journey and highlights the haikus that Yuki writes every day. A nice book to add to the haiku section of your poetry section. Please do note, it does reference the ancient Japanese tradition of spirits.
