Sangha Our community. Matsuo Basho and Zen Haiku Although Zen, from its beginnings, has not been "dependent on words or letters," there has developed over the centuries a body of what might be called "Zen literature," composed of collections of koans, Zen dialogues, anecdotes, sermons and biographies and autobiographies of Zen masters, all of which are treasured by students and teachers of Zen as repositories of Zen wisdom. Since the writing of haiku poetry has been a popular pastime in Japan since the 17th century, it is hardly possible to call the whole body of haiku "Zen literature." Nevertheless, Zen thought and experience have had a pervasive influence upon the practice of this art. Matsuo Basho (1644-1694) was the poet who lifted the 17-syllable haiku out of the earlierand longerforms of waka and renga poetry to make of it a genre in its own right. During his lifetime several poets, principally Kikaku, Ransetsu, Kyorai, Joso, Kyoroku, Shiko, Sampu, Yaha and Hokushi, became his devoted students, embodying in their own poetry the aesthetic principles Basho had taught them. Thus a poetic tradition was established, and was passed on through the generations. It is generally believed that Basho was trained as a Buddhist monk at Kinpukuji in Kyoto during the years 1666-1671, where his studies included Japanese and Chinese classics and calligraphy. In 1672 he moved to Edo (Tokyo), where he became actively engaged in writing poetry. Throughout the years of his residence in this city (1673-1684) he also practiced Zen meditation under the guidance of Buchho, a priest residing at Chokeiji Temple.

63. Basho's Narrow Road Matsuo basho (164494) is considered Japan s greatest haiku poet. Narrow Road basho S NARROW ROAD SPRING AND AUTUMN PASSAGES. Two Works http://www.stonebridge.com/BASHONARROW/basho.html

Matsuo Basho (1644-94) is considered Japan's greatest haiku poet. Narrow Road to the Interior (Oku no Hosomichi) is his masterpiece. Ostensibly a chronological account of the poet's five-month journey in 1689 into the deep country north and west of the old capital, Edo, the work is in fact artful and carefully sculpted, rich in literary and Zen allusion and filled with great insights and vital rhythms. In Basho's Narrow Road: Spring and Autumn Passages , poet and translator Hiroaki Sato presents the complete work in English and examines the threads of history, geography, philosophy, and literature that are woven into Basho's exposition. He details in particular the extent to which Basho relied on the community of writers with whom he traveled and joined in linked verse (renga) poetry sessions, an example of which, A Farewell Gift to Sora , is included in this volume. In explaining how and why Basho made the literary choices he did, Sato shows how the poet was able to transform his passing observations into words that resonate across time and culture. Hiroaki Sato has published over two dozen books, of which seventeen are translations of Japanese poetry into English.

Basho and Kukai Lines within a pair of hook-like parentheses are Basho referring to Nanzan Daishi , which was the compellation of Kukai Basho's words(above) read: "Fuga is much like ingle in summer or fan in winter. Contrary to what they covet, it is useless ... [yet it serves to spirit] ... Nanzan Daishi once said that in Buddhist calligraphy 'Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the men of old; seek what they sought.' The same stands true in Haikai. I spoke this for the last time, took up lantern, saw him[Kyoroku] off to brushwood-gate".("Kyoroku Ribetsu no Kotoba" (Words given to Kyoroku as he parts) written in 1693) As Kyoroku was also a good calligrapher, the topic of their last occasion seemed to focus around Fuga and Calligraphy. What Kukai(774-835) had written(below) reads: "...in Buddhist calligraphy it is the spirit of old that should be learned; the likeness in figure is not what should be thought as the token of good hand".(in Shoryo Shu, compiles ca. 840, recompiled 1079) When anyone, Japanese or non-Japanese, is wanting to grasp what was the essence of Haikai or Haiku incorporated by Basho, the crucial word would be Fuga

Basho's JOURNEY This small piece is entirely impossible to be translated. The occasion it had been written is clear, for Matsuo Basho left record on a volume of sheets. The volume became known as Oku no Hoso Michi ; where Oku, meaning a far side, was a name given vaguely to the north-eastern half of Japan. The poet went to the journey early in 1689; he was on it until late fall that year. This piece was written down when his journey came virtually to its end. He spent his last years finishing the volume; he deceased in 1694 when it was done. Above all what has been said, Basho was a man who saw life a journey. Every journey has one thing in common: it has to end. If you have somebody near you who is familiar with the Japanese language, the person might be able to explain the literal meaning of it. But the person has to be the one who knows life better. Of course, the best thing is you start learning it. You may download it at here . It is in ".gif" format, 9 Kbytes in size.

Basho in Yamagata, a Proposal Go down to the Japanese part In 1689, during the early Edo period, haiku poet Basho who tunrned 45 years old, went on a five months trip to the Northeastern and Japan Sea regions of Japan, accompanied by Sora, one of his deciples. The haiku poems he wrote during this trip was summarized as a haiku essay called "The Narrow Roads to the Interior Lands," whose main haiku were made in the middle and north parts of Yamagata Prefecture, such as: Quietness, and the cicadas' chirping sounds being absorbed by the rocks. The rain of May being Gathered by the swiflyt-flowing Mogami River. The years 1996 and 1997 are historical for the researchers of Basho's haiku: a copy of "The Narrow Roads of the Interior Lands" of his own writing was found in Osaka, and its copies have been made available in two books: "Basho Jihitsubon: Oku no Hoso-michi" (Nakao Shosendo, Nov., 1996; a limited edition) and "Basho Jihitsu: Oku no Hoso-michi" (Iwanami Shoten, Jan., 1997; a popular edition). It was found that it contained many corrections and that Basho's haiku was not instantly made, but created and perfected after many agonizing revisions. This home page includes the newly found original of Basho's classic, with modern Japanese and English translations, illustrated by photos taken by the participants. It is expected to be created in January-June, 1997. If you are literature-minded, you are welcome to add your comments about Abbot Inno (988-?), Abbot Saigyo (1118-1190), Yoshitsune Minamoto (1159-1189) and Sogi (1421-1502), whose footprints Basho had said that he wanted to trace.

A challenging but rewarding experience, this time not the easiest access to guitar sounds. Very experimental. These are soundscapes, but not like water. Therefore the pitches are too high. In some way it's like going beyond the known colours and elements. Insects can hear higher sounds. This music is like flying into higher sounds, and flowing in it as well, into the higher blue notes of it may be, but not like in how we are used to experience water. It's a more an into depth experience, like a blue deep lake can hold this too, carrying something from a deeper unconscious level. Even the tracks played with one finger are strangely enough nice to hear. Only last extremely minimalistic track I don't like while it sounds to me as if the record is skipping. Every completely new area always sounds more appealing to the brain at first because it's also related with a renewing of the conciousness. At the time when all skills for it are integrated then it receives an extra emotional deeper level.

Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Matsuo Basho Matsuo Basho November 28 ), the pseudonym of Mastuo Munefusa , was a Japanese poet . He is widely thought of as one of the greatest writers of the Tokugawa Shogunate , and is best remembered today for raising the haiku form to the highest level. He was born in Ueno , near Kyoto , and was known as Kinsaku as a child - he took the name Basho, which means banana tree, in the 1680s when he moved into a hut alongside a banana tree and became a recluse. He was the son of a low-ranking samurai , and initially worked in the service of a local lord, Todo Yoshitada. He began writing poetry while there, but moved to Edo (now Tokyo ) upon his lord's death in 1666. There he gained a reputation as a great poet and critic. It was Basho who raised the haiku from a comic verse, often written for light relief, to a serious form, imbued with the spirit of Zen Buddhism. Many of his haiku were in fact the first three lines of longer renga (which some critics consider his best work) rather than standalone works, but they have been collected and published on their own many times and his work was a great inspiration to later writers such as Kobayashi Issa and Masaoka Shiki Basho travelled very widely during his life, and many of his writings reflect his experiences on his travels.

In times of severe stress, we often find out who our real friends are. The Winter of 1991 was the most stressful time in my life so far. I would not have gotten through it without my friends Basho and Axel Thu. Axel Thu was a Chinese mathematician who died in the year 400 AD . Basho was my cat. January 14 was my preliminary examination in Mathematics. The preliminary examination is the biggest hurdle that lies between the hopeful graduate student, and the Ph. D. that is his or her heart's desire. Picture a two hour oral exam consisting of two professors hurling questions at you, where you only have a piece of chalk for self defense. At the University of Michigan, the rule was that if you failed, you got one more chance. If you failed a second time, that's it. You're out. Thanks for playing. You leave college with nothing but debt, misery, and a Master's degree. I started studying six weeks before the date, telling my family that Christmas was canceled for me that year. This is the story of a friendship. Basho the Cat, Axel Thu and I became very close during those six weeks. Unfortunately, this is also the story of a betrayal, and the end of a friendship.

She has always cried more than other moms, but lately she has started to cry a lot more. I mean, at least once a day. For the last year, I’ll occasionally come home from school to see her curled up on the couch, like a baby, sobbing. When anyone asks her what’s wrong, she just starts apologizing, and saying things like, "I don’t know and that just makes it worse." We are in a very small, remote community, so therapy is out of the question. What should we do? -Concerned about my mom.

Basho , Matsuo Poet, born in Ueno, Japan. Influenced by Zen Buddhism he became a master of the haiku and started his own school, but later retired to a hermitage. He journeyed extensively, and composed his book of travels 'The Narrow Road to the Deep North' in a mixture of poetic prose and haiku. Basho demanded that a haiku must contain both a perception pf some eternal truth and an element of contemporaneity. P'u Sung-ling Chinese poet who wrote under the title 'Liao-chai chih-i' (Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio) 431 charming stories of the supernatural. P'u Sung-ling humanized supernatural spirits so that they became - for the first time in Chinese fiction - likeable. He also wrote the longest Chinese novel, 'Hsing shih yin yuan', describing the unhappy marriage of a shrew and her henpicked husband. Saikaku , Ihara Japanese poet and novelist, born in Osaka. Critics rank him as second only to Murasaki in all Japanese literature. He won fame for his lightening speed in haiku compositions, he is said to have turned out 23,500 haikus in a single day in 1684, or 16 per minute. But Saikaku is best known for his novels, written with satirical humour. His masterpiece is 'Koshoku gonin onna' (Five Women Who Loved Love) describing the loves of women of the merchant class rather than prostitutes; this was the first time women of this class were given such attention. Tasso , Torquato Italian poet, born at Sorrento. He studied law but devoted himself to literature. He published his romantic poems 'Aminta' and 'Rinaldo', dedicated to Cardinal Luigi d'Este. While at the court of the Duke of Ferrara he wrote his greatest poem 'Gerusalemme Conquistata'. He later fell in disfavour and died in poverty.
