Synopsis
The great poet Basho lives in a hut in the woods, content to live simply and write his haiku poems. One day he shoos a fox out of the cherry tree near his hut. The fox makes a deal with him: if Basho can write a poem that the fox thinks is good, the fox will leave his cherries alone forever. But will Basho's poems ever impress the fox? After two failed attempts, Basho is about to give up when inspiration suddenly seizes him. Simply told and enchantingly illustrated, this story evokes the art and atmosphere of Japan and teaches a valuable lesson about the joys of creating poems.
