- Oomi 近江 89 poems written in Omi, Shiga 滋賀 - 志賀 -
quote
The area around Lake Biwa was once called Omi.
Biwako 琵琶湖 Lake Biwa in Shiga Prefecture is the largest lake in Japan.
Adjacent to the country's political center, Kyoto, Omi district used to be transportation hub between east and west Japan since ancient times. Rice produced in regions facing the Sea of Japan were carried by ship through Lake Biwa to Kyoto and Osaka.
In the Edo period (1603-1868), although the transportation of rice was switched to marine routes, various products from northern Japan were still brought to Kyoto and Osaka via the lake and as economy of the country continued to grow, water transport on Lake Biwa flourished, and Omi district thrived in commerce.
Surrounded by mountains, Lake Biwa has long been known as a place of beautiful scenery with green mountains and crystal-clear water, and is featured in many poems and paintings. For example, the lake appears in every one of the eight selected beautiful landscapes in Omi district known as "Omi Hakkei."

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Basho was very fond of the Omi region and even said:
"I want to spend my old age in Omi." - - 老後はここで過ごしたい.
- - and later
"I want to stay in Omi after my death." - - 死後もここで過ごしたい.
From the more than 980 hokku of Basho there are 89 which were written in Omi ,
that is more than the 52 he wrote on the road of "Oku no Hosomichi".
From his 36 most important disciples 俳仙 (haisen) there were
12 from Omi, 5 from Edo, 4 from Mino and Nagoya each and 3 from Iga Ueno.
Basho stayed for extensive periods in the region, making friends with important samurai, doctors, merchants, craftsmen and all kinds of townspeople and enjoyed a lot of haikai meetings in the two years he spent in Otsu late in his life.
Matuo Basho first came to Omi on his way to become a student of Kitamura Kigin in 1674 in Kyoto. He was quite fascinated with the beautiful landscape of the huge lake and high mountains in the background, which was quite different from his homeland, Iga Ueno.
His most representative hokku about Omi was written in 1690
行く春を近江の人と惜しみける
yuku haru o Oomi no hito to oshimikeru
The departing spring !
With the people of Omi
I missed it deeply.
Tr. Oseko
I deplore with my friends of Ômi
the passing along of Spring so swiftly
Tr. ?
spring is departing
and with the people (friends) of Omi
I lament its passing . . .
Tr. Gabi Greve
This hokku is one sentence and has the cut at the end of line 3.
oshimu 惜しむ to miss, to deplore
to hold something dear, place great value on something
to lament the passing of a season
. Emotions expressed by Basho .
Please check the poems in the ABC index.
