"The Monkey's Straw Raincoat" - Sarumino
Earl Miner and Hiroko Odagiri
In 'The Monkey's Straw Raincoat'... there appear 118 poets, or 119 if Shinken is counted for his Chinese verse. Of them, 113 were still alive at the time of the compilation. In this respect (as Joosoo's postcript implies), we must think of that collection as one of people then alive who were of the Basho school. (The five who had died had done so only recently, so that they represent only a seeming exception.)
The hokku section of 'The Monkey's Straw Raincoat' has 382 stanzas. Two poets appear much the most often: Boncho with forty-one stanzas and Basho with forty. Next come Kikaku and Kyorai with twenty-five each. Poets with between ten and fifteen stanzas include: Shoohaku (14); Fumikuni (13); Joosoo, Sora, and Ukoo (12); and Ranran (10). Those with four to nine stanzas are: Senna, Hanzan, Otokuni, Dohoo (also Tohoo), Chinseki, Ransetsu, Sampu, Chigetsu, Tangan, and Bokusetsu (in decreasing order of frequency).
Some seventy-one poets are represented by only one stanza in the whole of 'The Monkey's Straw Raincoat'. From the hokku collection, eleven are known solely for having one stanza and for nothing more (including place of origin, etc.)
One of the features of this collection is the presence of six women poets. The most important is Ukoo (her husband is Boncho who, as we have seen, was the most fully represented of the men). Chigetsu is also represented among those who appear with some frequency. In addition there are: Chine (Kyorai's sister, who had died), Ooshuu, Sen, and Tagami no Ama (or the nun Tagami).
It is particularly telling that upwards of twenty percent of the poets (18 of 118) are substantially unknown. (The Autumn hokku begin with a poet labeled "Anonymous," but that may be a joke.) Poets who were important enough to participate in the kasen are of course better known. But in the hokku section of 'The Monkey's Straw Raincoat', seven are wholly unknown otherwise (Choowa, Genshi, Ranko, Ransui, Ryuuin, Sooji, Yoosui).
Five are known simply as being from Edo (Ensui, though not the famous one, Kakoo, Keiseki, Sansen, Zenhoo), another five as being from Iga (Choobi, Ichitan, Juntaku, Risetsu, Sekikoo), and four from Zeze (Bokusui, Deido, Senso, Shiyuu). There is one from Owari (Kaikyoo) and another from Mikawa (Shiin). Given the problems with reading pen names, it will be clear that it is particularly difficult to make certain [of] the names of these obscure people. In social terms, it is more significant still that so many people were included whom history has cast into obscurity as being of no consequence.
Other collections of the seven thought canonical for Basho-style haikai would give a somewhat different cross-section of the society of the time, although the differences would not be extreme. There might be fewer people otherwise unknown and fewer women. But the earlier generalization would still hold: the poets are mostly of middling social origins and more of low than of higher rank. It was people such as these who contributed to make their generation one of the great periods of Japanese poetry.

At the first haikai meeting of the year 1688, at the temple 薬師寺 Yakushi-Ji in Iga Ueno,
Basho wrote this greeting hokku for his disciples
初桜折りしも今日はよき日なり
hatsuzakura orishi mo kyoo wa yoki hi nari
first cherries blooming:
right now, today,
is such a fine day
Tr. Barnhill
The cut marker NARI is at the end of line 3.
Written in the spring of 1688, 貞亨５年春.
This refers to a Zen saying about
. nichi nichi kore koonichi 日々是好日 Every Day is a Good Day .
. Oi no Kobumi 笈の小文 .
