Basho teaches his students about objective observation
(the word SHASEI 写生 had not been invented yet):

Learn from the pine!

To do that you must leave behind you all subjective prejudice.
Otherwise you will force your own self onto the object
and can learn nothing from it.

Your poem will well-up of its own accord
when you and the object become one,
when you dive deep enough into the object,
to discover something of its hidden glimmer.

October 2015

Newly discovered Matsuo Basho's "kaishi" 懐紙（かいし）
shown at the Seatle Museum of Art

米シアトル美術館で展示していた小ぶりの和紙「懐紙（かいし）」に書かれている句が、江戸時代の俳人松尾芭蕉（ばしょう）（一六四四～九四年）の直筆のものとみられると、清泉女学院大（長野市）の玉城司（たまきつかさ）客員教授（近世俳諧史）が確認した。これまで見つかっていない句が書かれており「芭蕉が四十歳以前の活動初期のものとみられ、大変貴重な史料」としている。

The hitherto unknown Basho haiku reads:
我しのふあるしは蔦（つた）の　さひや哉（かな）

. WKD - Hokku and Haikai 　発句と俳諧 . 　
The opening verse of a linked verse or beginning stanza was called " hokku　発句" .
Since about 1670, the haikai poets started composing stand-alone poems of 5 7 5, independent from the renku 連句　linked verse.
They were usually simply called KU　句, poem, verse.
A hokku and a haiku in Japan share the same basic formal criteria:
5 7 5 on
one kireji
one kigo/kidai
Shiki did not touch this formal definition when he promoted the naming of haiku 俳句.
