いにしへ頃､東山に阿弥陀房と申しける上人の庵室にまかりて見けるに､何となくあはれにおぼえて詠める

柴の庵（いほ）と聞くは悔（くや）しき名なれども
世に好（この）もしき住居（すまゐ）なりけり

shiba no to to kiku wa kuyashiki naredo

（『山家集』中・雑）

（ずっと以前、東山に阿弥陀房とおっしゃる上人がおられて、その庵室をたずねてみたところ、なんとなくしみじみとした情緒が感じられて詠んだ歌。
「住まいは柴の庵と聞いていたので、大したことはないだろうと思っていたけど、実際に行ってみると実に感じの良い住いで、柴の庵との名が口惜しく感じられた。」）

This hall has been built in the middle of the Edo period in memory of Matsuo Basho.
It has first been established by a haikai poet from Kaga

Takakuwa Rankoo 高桑闌更 Takakuwa Ranko
(1727 - 1799)

at Maruyama Koen Park, Kyoto  円山公園界隈


At this hall there is an annual ceremony

hana kuyoo　花供養 in memory of Basho.

quote
Basho in Kyoto –“Hanakuyo”and a stone with a Haiku of Basho.
Takeuchi Chiyoko
Basho in Kyoto is famous for “Hanakuyo” at “Basho-do”, and a stone of a Haiku of Basho, the monuments of Basho’s Haiku which were built in some sightseeing areas, are also familiar with people. Both of them were, originally, under the influences of “Shigure-e” and a grave stone of Basho. This paper examines how “Hanakuyo” and a stone with a Haiku of Basho shook them off and went through the original development in Kyoto.

“Hanakuyo” and Haiku circles in Kyoto
Matsumoto Setsuko
When Ranko started his activity as a master of Basho-do in the sixth year of Tenmei on Edo era, the number of Tenja and Haikaikouja are about 43. Ranko had hardly communicated with those people. This means they had differences with each other on the ideas about Haikai, audiences and the way of spreading it.

Publishing firm “Katsuta Zensuke”
Kishimoto Yuko
Katsuta Zensuke was not only a haiku poet, but also the publisher of Haiku books “Hanakuyo”, which had been published from the third year of Kyowa of Edo era to the ninth year of Bunka of Edo era. This paper examines such two aspects of his through “Hanakuyo.”

4 “Hanakuyo” and ”Basho-do”
Kobayashi Toru
This paper examines the system of publication after the Tempo era, when Haiku
books “Hanakuyo” were regularly published, and also examines the role of Basho-do
in this period.

jiamari - too much

[ . BACK to WORLDKIGO . TOP . ]
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::　

- jiamari　字余り excessive syllables
jitarazu　字足らず insufficient syllables -

. WKD : 5 7 5 - too much, too little .


Matsuo Basho sometimes deviates from the pattern 5 7 5.
He told his disciples:

"Even if you have three or four extra syllables, or as many as five or seven, you need not worry as long as it sounds right.
But if even one syllable is stale in your mouth, give it all of your attention."

"Blossoms (hana) are the flowering (hana)
of the heart-mind of all the myriad things."

Flowers and Renku
Chris Drake

The following are regarded by renku poets as "true flowers/blossoms, 正花 (shooka)" although they are not what we ordinarily call flowers. This is because they express the basic life force that makes botanical flowers possible:

* Spring: hana-guruma, a cart carrying or decorated with flowers, also a blossom-viewing carriage; hana-gokoro, or flowers' heart-mind, that is, the heart/mind of blossoms, and also the heart/mind of humans when it blooms with creative, blossom-like thoughts and actions; hana-goromo, a blossom-robe, that is, a flowery or floral-design robe; hana-ikada, or flower raft, a dense area of fallen blossoms that remains floating on the surface of a body of water, etc.

* Summer: hana-midoo, or flower hall, a stand with a base, four pillars, and a small roof covered with flowers in which a statue of the baby Buddha is placed and displayed on his birthday; yoka, or late blossoms of certain cherries and other flowering trees and bushes; wakaba no hana or blossoms among new green leaves; hana-goza, a reed mat woven with a colored floral design in it; hana-goori, or ice with a flower frozen inside it, etc.

* Autumn: hanabi, 'fire flowers,' or fireworks (now mainly a summer word); hana-odori, or flower dance, that is, a dance done with flowers in your hat (also spring); hana-momiji, 'blossoms and colored leaves,' that is, the concept of beauty that includes both, and also colored leaves that are as beautiful as spring blossoms; hana-zumoo, or blossom sumo, that is, a special sumo match outside the regular schedule in which the wrestlers are rewarded only with gifts of flowers/blossoms, a metaphor for wrapped gifts of money from fans; hana-tooroo, or stone lantern towers that are decorated with flowers, etc.

* Winter: kaeri-bana, or flowers that bloom out of season during a winter warm spell; mochi-bana, or rice-cake flowers, that is, small, usually round brightly colored rice cakes placed on sticks or bush or tree limbs in early spring as a prayer for a good crop during the coming year, etc.

* Non-seasonal: hana-yome/-muko or flower bride/groom, that is, brides and grooms at the height of their attractiveness and fertility; hana-gatsuo, flower bonito, that is, broth containing pieces of dried bonito shaved as thinly as blossoms; hana-mushiro, flower mat, that is, a straw mat woven with a colored floral design in it; tsukuri-bana, or artificial flowers (often said to be loved by the gods); hana-nuri, or flower finish, a method of applying lacquer without polishing; hana-kairagi, or flower stingray skin, a method of decorating sword handles and sheaths; hana-gata, a) a flower design and b) a famous actor who is the "flower" of the kabuki troupe; tooka no hana, the flower-like tip of a lantern flame, etc.

* "False blossoms" that can be used as "true blossoms": hana no nami, waves of blossoms; hana no taki, a waterfall of blossoms, that is, a tree with many flowering branches hanging downward like a willow, and also: a falls as beautiful as falling petals or one with many petals floating in it at the bottom; hana no yuki, snow or blizzard of falling blossoms; cha no de-bana, first flower tea, that is, the delicious, fragrant tea made from the first fresh leaves of the year; ai no debana, the beautiful first dyeing of cloth using fresh, new indigo dye.

* There are also some borderline images, such as hi-bana, fire flowers, that is, sparks, that are often given as false blossoms that shouldn't be used.

To sum up, as Basho is quoted as saying in Nijuugo kajoo (二十五箇条), On Haikai: Twenty-Five Points,

"Blossoms (hana) are the flowering (hana)
of the heart-mind of all the myriad things."

So perhaps "true blossoms," both seasonal and non-seasonal, could be paraphrased as heart-mind blossoms as opposed to botanical blossoms.

Names of Persons

- Names of Persons - Personen -

In some of his hokku, Basho uses the name of a person directly.

In others the hokku is very closely related to the life of a person and the reader needs to know him/her well to properly understand the meaning.

Personification (擬人化 gijinka)
and the use of metaphors (隠喩 inyuu) are other problems, see below.

The Japanese haiku in its relation to the season is also often called
"kisetsu no aisatsu", a seasonal greeting,
whereby the kigo carries the seasonal message and mood.

quote
In the hokku　発句 first verse of a renku 連句　linked poem of the Edo period and up to our times this was usually written by the most important guest (very often Matsuo Basho) as a greeting to the host.
By carefully choosing a plant or an animal for example the guest poet could playfully hint at a feature or characteristic of his host.
It can also feature a placename 地発句（じほっく） jihokku.
jibokku is a term used by Shirane, Traces of Dreams, page 169
source : books.google.co.jp



quote
- The Poet as Guest
Basho was constantly meeting with poeple to compose linked verse - encounters that usually resulted in greetings or expressions of gratitude. Almost half of the roughly 250 hokku in Basho's three famous travel accounts - Skeleton in the Fields, Backpack Notes and Narrow Road to the Interior - originally functioned as social adresses or replies of this sort.
- Shirane, Traces of Dreams, p. 160
source : books.google.co.jp/books



quote
- Pacifying the Dead
Basho's poetry and prose often functioned as an offering to the spirit of the dead, a ritual derives from a long Japanese tradition of spirit pacification (chinkon).
- Shirane, Traces of Dreams, p. 180
source : books.google.co.jp/books



senbetsu ku　餞別句 "Good Bye" poem
Basho wrote quite a few for his disciples, when they had to leave him.

The human element is in the tacit awareness of the creature present in the wider processes of creation. When Basho brings in the personal it inevitably becomes the springboard to the universal.

Matsuki Tantan 松木淡々　(1674-1761)

"but always kept around him a great number of young girls. That is why it is so hard to obtain any specimen of his own handwriting, for he dictated everything to these children"
