ROBBIE BASHO Guitar Soli Takoma TAKCD-8902-2 ~ $16.98 The debt that modern guitarist composers owe to the late Robbie Basho can hardly be overstated. Though Fahey invented the genre and Kottke proved its marketability, it was Basho's technique, vision, and self-image that resonated most strongly with Will Ackerman and the so-called New Age guitar movement he founded. It's a crime Basho's music hasn't been available on record for many years. Now older guitar fans can welcome back an old friend and newer ones can learn where it all came from on this beautifully edited CD of Basho's "greatest hits." ROBBIE BASHO Bashovia Takoma TAKCD-8913-2 ~ $16.98 Of all the young guitarists who recorded for Takoma in the Sixties and Seventies, Robbie Basho was the least influenced by label founder John Fahey. In an age when nonconformity was exalted, Basho qualified as a true eccentric, and the way he played the guitar and sang was unique. His fascination with things Oriental led him to take his name from a Japanese poet, and the influence of Indian classical music is often palpable in his guitar work. But Basho's use of this influence is original; like any artist, he takes what suits his needs to create the right atmosphere for his own creations to blossom. This overview of Basho's Takoma recordings was conceived by Fahey, whose evocative reminiscences greatly enhance our appreciation of a unique character and musician.

A READER'S JOURNAL A Zen Wave by Robert Aitken Published by Weatherhill, NY in 1996 "); // End > Search the Web   What is a haiku and where did it come from? Aitken tells us its origin in the Introduction. [page 20] Historically, haiku developed from renku, the linked verse form that was popular among leisure classes in Japan from the earliest literate times. One poet would write a line of seventeen syllables, and another would cap that with a line of fourteen syllables. A third poet would add another line of seventeen syllables that would be linked to the first two lines in poetical intention. A fourth poet would cap that, and so on. The result would be a long poem of verses linked with associations shared by the participants, and the movement in imagery, intention, and implication would, when successful, be fulfilling for the entire party. Haiku very much One can have a start Voila! Zen of art. I thought I knew about haiku before I read this book. Well, I not only learned more about haiku but a lot about the Japanese language and my own language in addition. The haiku above I wrote in the margins of page 15 of the book. It was inspired by the following passage in the Foreword by W. S. Merwin: [page 13] For art itself is not altogether possible (it is one of the things about it that we prize), and yet it exists, for all that - just as we live not only in the absolute but at the same time in the world of the necessary and the possible.

In a Dark Time Main April 23, 2004 Basho's Haiku As I read through 250 of Basho's haiku as chosen by translator Sam Hamill for Narrow Road to the Interior , I began to realize why I like haibun and haiga. Simply put, they isolate a haiku from other haiku. And, to be most effective, I think I haiku must stand alone. Read as a group, they tend to lose their effectiveness. In fact, I think the perfect way to present haiku might be as a screensaver, when a single haiku would show up for a whole day, allowing the reader enough time to really meditate on what has been said. Alternatively, of course, despite what Arete might say, haiku might serve as the perfect cross-stichery project. This one, makes me long for high mountain ridges still inaccessible because of snow cover: Your song caresses the depths of loneliness, high mountain bird. as does this one Traveling this high mountain trail, delighted by wild violets. Of course, anyone who knows my loves would not be surprised to learn that discovering this haiku was worth the price of the entire work: TrackBack Comments Actually, I agree that haiku would be excellent for cross stich, particularly from a meditative standpoint. The complexity of yarn is startlingly apparent when I knit. When I keep flowers on my desk where I can see them all day, it seems like there are new details to notice every hour. Stitching a haiku, one might get to know it on a very intimate and elemental level.

In this awesome collection, Sam Hamill has gathered together Narrow Road to the Interior, a diary of his journey through northern Japan; three travel sketches; and over 250 haiku. Basho once observed: "Nothing's worth noting that is not seen with fresh eyes." Whether viewing the moon, marveling at cherry blossoms, or meeting a sage unexpectedly, this vagabond always finds just the right words to describe what he's seeing. An example: "A pair of deer / groom each other hair by hair / with increasing care." Another: "The orchid's perfume / clings to the butterfly's wings / like temple incense." As a seasoned traveler, Basho always brings himself to the present moment: "Yesterday's self is already worn out." With no set route to follow, he is free to move in zigzags. He travels light on straw sandals. One of his best pieces of advice: "Learn how to listen as things speak for themselves." On the road this poet and Zen master comes to a deep appreciation of the impermanence of life and the subtle beauty of the shining world. Reading this wonderful book, you will rejoice in what Hamill calls "the spiritual prosperity" of Basho's way of elegance.
