Sentences with BASHO (5)
This was the great Basho[u] (1644-1694) who may be called certainly the greatest epigrammatist of any time.
During a life of extreme and voluntary self-denial and wandering, Basho[u] contrived to obtain over a thousand disciples, and to found a school of hokku writing which has persisted down to the present day.
Blake's words describe the aim of the Zen Buddhist as well as any one's: "To see a World in a grain of sand, And a Heaven in a wild flower; Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And Eternity in an hour." Basho[u] would have subscribed to this as the sole rule of poetry and imagination.
The most famous hokku that Basho[u] wrote, might be literally translated thus: "An old pond And the sound of a frog leaping Into the water." This means nothing to the Western mind.
But to the Japanese it means all the beauty of such a life of retirement and contemplation as Basho[u] practised.

'The Narrow Road to the Deep North' is one of the most famous books of all Japanese literature, written by the great poet Basho in 1689.
