The Narrow Road to the Deep North

I've come across a reference to a Japanese poem 'Oku no Hosomichi' which translates into English as 'The Narrow Road to the Deep North'. The line best-known to most Japanese is 'Every day is a journey, and the journey itself is home'. This seems a perfect description of a walk along a long-distance footpath, day after day. I can't wait to get to Edale to start 'The Narrow Road to the Deep North'
