Meigetsu harvest moon

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

- meigetsu 名月 harvest moon

The full moon of the eighth lunar month, now in September.

This refers to the Chinese custom of celebrating the full moon.
People celebrated the changes of all things, now from a full moon to the waning moon.
There are many different customs in various regions of Japan to celebrate this day with special offerings and rituals.
For example sweet potatoes, edamame beans, moon-viewing dumplings and susuki reed grass.
In some areas, the day 13 is also celebrated in this way, but more often in the ninth lunar month.

名月に麓の霧や田の曇り
meigetsu ni / fumoto no kiri ya / ta no kumori

The harvest moon
and the fog at the mountain foot—
mists over the field.

..........................................................................

名月の花かと見えて綿畠
meigetsu no / hana ka to miete / wata-batake

As if blossoms have fallen
from the harvest moon—
the cotton field

quote
While both poems depict the view under the harvest moon, the ¤rst one is a simple and straightforward portrait, which Dohô describes as “the style of the unchanging.”
The second uses explicit symbols. It gives the traditional poetic images, the moon and the flower, fresh significance.

Instead of using hana in its conventional way to mean cherry blossoms specifically as a seasonal word for spring, here it describes the beautiful whiteness of cotton bolls reflecting the bright light of the harvest moon, an image that traditionally signifies the autumn season.
The presentation of the moon in the second poem also departs from its conventional hon’i: while portraying the harvest moon, the poetic vision focuses, not on the moon, nor on its surroundings, but on the cotton field on the earth. It heightens the charm and miraculous power of the moonlight through its reflection on the cotton, which had not been considered a poetic image in classical tradition.

Despite these novel conceptions, the verse shows no trace of striving for ingenuity. The images naturally evoke an autumn moonlight view and the beholder’s feeling. This kind of novelty out of naturalness is the variety that Bashô wished to pursue: change that shares the same base with constancy.

夏かけて名月暑き涼み哉

past summer

Written on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month of 1693 元禄6年8月15日.
The cut marker KANA is at the end of line 3.
The main kigo here is the "full moon of autumn". Basho uses three words to indicate the heat:
natsu - summer
atsuki - it is hot
suzumi - to feel cool in summer

In this hot summer of 1683, Basho had lost all of his energy and shut down his haikai "workshop".

From a twig
it falls, in vain
a husk of a cicada.

Cicadas lend themselves nicely to the Buddhist theme that earthly life is vanity and illusion.
The insect's shed husk, left clinging to a branch after the nymph's final molt, is a poignant reminder of the Zen formulation:
"Form is emptiness, Emptiness is form.".
In China, the cicada is an ancient symbol of rebirth.

This might be a pun with MATSU, to wait.
The green pine is waiting for the snow to paint it white.

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:

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.

埋火も消ゆや涙の烹ゆる音
uzumi-bi mo kiyu ya namida no niyuru oto

even the banked fire
is dying - my tears
make a hissing sound
Tr. Gabi Greve

Written most probably in the first year of Genroku 元禄元年 in Gifu.
This hokku has the cut marker YA in the middle of line 2.

While he sits near the smoldering coals, he remembers a good friend who has died recently and his tears do not stop.
The sound of his burning tears is a very strong expression of his sorrow and pain he feels.

埋火や壁には客の影法師　
uzumi-bi ya kabe ni wa kyaku no kagebooshi

banked charcoal -
on the wall the shadow
of a visitor
Tr. Gabi Greve

Written in the winter of 1692 元禄5年.
Basho is sitting at his fireplace. His own shadow appears on the wall like a visitor, who is keeping him company.
This is Basho's way to express his loneliness (sabishisa).

This is a reference to a waka by Saigyo:

さみしさにたえたる人のまたもあれな庵並べむ冬の山里
さびしさにたへたる人のまたもあれな庵ならべむ冬の山里

sabishisa ni taetaru hito no mata mo are na
iori narabemu fuyu no yamazato

I wish there were another here
who could bear
this loneliness;
we'd build our huts side by side
in this wintry moundain village.
Tr. Shirane

. 　Basho and Saigyo 芭蕉と西行法師　.

source :　yahoo.co.jp/t3814102

Another explanation is a visit by his friend Kyokusui 曲水 and both of them sit around the fireplace.
In this case the kage shadow is Kyokusui's.
