Matsuo Bashō

JP

Matsuo Basho was a highly influential poet of the Edo period in Japan. He is considered the greatest master of haiku, a form of Japanese poetry consisting of three phrases with a 5, 7, 5 syllable structure. His work is characterized by its simplicity, depth, and profound connection to nature and the human condition. Basho's poetry often evokes a sense of melancholy, impermanence, and the beauty of the fleeting moment, deeply rooted in Zen Buddhist philosophy.

In this world of ours,

In this world of ours,
Yo no naka wa kutte hako shite nete okite
Sate sono ato wa shinuru bakari zo
In this world of ours,
We eat only to cast out,
Sleep only to wake,
And what comes after all that
Is simply to die at last.
