- shigure 時雨 winter drizzle, sleet -
shigure 時雨 is not simply a kigo for winter,
it also expresses the important "fuuryuu 風流" "poetic elegance" in Japanese poetry.

時雨をやもどかしがりて松の雪
時雨をばもどきて雪や松の色
shigure o ya modokashigarite matsu no yuki
winter drizzle -
it is quite impatient
this snow on the pines
Written in 1666, 寛文6年, Basho age 23. He still used the haiku name of 宗房.
One of his very early hokku.
This might be a pun with MATSU, to wait.
The green pine is waiting for the snow to paint it white.
Maybe Basho was thinking of a waka by
monk Jien 慈円 (1155 - 1225) - 吉水僧正
わが恋は松を時雨の染めかねて
真葛が原に風さわぐなり
my love can not be expressed in words,
just as a winter drizzle can not paint the green pines white.

Written around 天和元年, Basho 38 or older.
Basho is reminded of the white sleet from last winter, which seems to have transformed to the white flowers in the field.

行く雲や犬の駈け尿村時雨
yuku kumo ya inu no kakebari mura shigure
Having become a city man with ambition to become a professional poet, Bashō progressed rapidly in style. Two stylistic developments were prerequisites for the religious life of haiku he was later to adopt, although at this time they were strictly literary changes. The first was an expansion of his subject matter to include the commonplace and even lower sides of life. The stimulus for this development came from the Danrin school, which often applied classical allusions to mundane or even wild contexts.
A rather extreme extension of subject matter can be found in the following:
Passing clouds —
Like a stray dog relieving himself,
Scattered showers.
