quote
In an age without air conditioners, the word "cool" (suzushisa), a seasonal word for summer, was the ultimate compliment that could be paid to the host of a summer's lodging.
Basho composed as many as 25 hokku with the word "coolness" (suzushisa or suzushimi), many of them in 1689 and 1694, when he traveled during the summer.
