- Shinto Shrines visited - Shinto Schreine
Basho visited many Shinto shrines and
sometimes used the name of them in the haiku itself.
It is helpful to know a bit about the history and legends around these shrines and temples to be able to understand his poems better. I try to add as much information for you as I can find.
His visits including names of temples and other places are listed in entries of their own.
See the tabs on the right side.
