Is there a commonly agreed upon title for the Richard Flanagan novel "The
Narrow Road to the Deep North" (not the travel diary by Matsuo Bashō, which
the novel was named after)?

I've seen both "奥の細道", which is the same as the travel diary the novel was
named after, and "ザ・ナロー・ロード・トゥー・ザ・ディープ・ノース", a katakana transliteration of the
name of the novel.

question
translation
Japanese for "The Narrow Road to the Deep North" (the Richard Flanagan novel)
It seems Japanese title is 奥の細道 considering the fact that his novel was named
after the Basho's travel diary. Since that translation appears on the [news
article](http://digital.asahi.com/articles/DA3S11454327.html), I think it is
the commonly agreed title.
