Narrow Road To The Inner Region 奥の細道: Words, Images and Sounds on the Way
Images and video by Oleg Yuzefpolsky
This series, “Narrow Road To The Inner Region 奥の細道,” is dedicated with Love to, and blessed and inspired by, the Mighty Himalayas herself and her beautiful people. “Narrow Road” is also an homage to the poet Matsuo Basho, a dear inspiration whose poetic travelogues have guided people like me for the past 300 years. In this way, through my visual travelogues, creative energies of ancient East converge with the musical drive of today’s world and bring Inspiration and Awe to my heart. I hope you feel it too.

Want a piece ?

Feed horses,

Though i was still far from the Temple,
a girl who met me on the way,
correctly assumed that i was going there.
“It’s closed,” she said.
“Not if you have the key,” was the answer i heard inside of me.

In thick fog,
what seemed to be a wall from far,
was actually a road.
Keep walking and path will appear.
