http://psychevanhetfolk.homestead.com/Basho.html

Extractions: @import url(http://www.homestead.com/~media/elements/Text/font_styles.css); Steffen published also a track at the "156 strings" guitar compilation album, and 2 great tracks at the "Wooden Guitar" acoustic guitar compilation album. Reviews and information on both otams (with soundfiles) can be found at the nex t "new guitarists page" After having experimented with his guitar on a number of his releases, having perfected the raga guitar style, this release is again more independent in style. It is inspired, spontaneous and sincere, mature and well crafted. "The River Suite" is a beautiful 22 minutes long finger picking song. I can't recall many more long guitar tracks with this quality, craftsmanship and inspiration. It was inspired by Virgil Thompson's "Louisiana Story". Also " Hear the winds coming " is somewhat similar in style, slightly different in mood. "The Takoma Bridge incident" pays tribute to John Fahey's steel string guitar label Takoma that supported steel string guitarists (like also Robbie Basho, Leo Kottke, Peter Lang). It's a 12 string guitar finger picking track with changing moods and references. "Rainbow Dancing" with 12 string guitar has a more happy mood, while "Autumn II" has the mood deriving from meditation into an awakening inspired reflective moment, as "spring is the freshness of water in autumn". The short "Epilogue" with 6 string guitar is a well thought out track with nice balanced contrasts in tones and ideas. On "Rivers and Bridges" various rivers have been travelled, rarely seen bridges have been crossed with such ease and fluidity !...

Extractions: We're incredibly proud of this book, the first anthology of LitKicks writings including selections from our poetry and fiction boards. The book was listed as a top poetry pick for 2004 by about.com. Bob Holman states that LitKicks has "found a new way to make an anthology open, free, and eternally interesting." Some of the best known poet-monk-travelers include Sogi (1421-1502) and Saigyo (1118-90), as well as the Chinese poet Li Po (705-762). But it was the Japanese poet Basho (1644-94) who perhaps had the greatest influence on those who followed him. This is because Basho is credited with reviving an art form that was expiring to superficiality at the time the haiku Born outside of Kyoto, Matsuo Kinsaku was the son of a low-ranking Samurai. Little is known of his early years. However, after writing verse as a child, Matsuo moved to Edo (present day Tokyo) where he worked towards establishing himself as a writer. He quickly became a central figure in the burgeoning literary scene of Edo, writing numerous hundred-verse renkus (with another poet), presiding over haiku contests and producing anthologies of verse.

http://www.mnzencenter.org/sangha/matsuo.html

Extractions: Although Zen, from its beginnings, has not been "dependent on words or letters," there has developed over the centuries a body of what might be called "Zen literature," composed of collections of koans, Zen dialogues, anecdotes, sermons and biographies and autobiographies of Zen masters, all of which are treasured by students and teachers of Zen as repositories of Zen wisdom. Matsuo Basho (1644-1694) was the poet who lifted the 17-syllable haiku out of the earlierand longerforms of waka and renga poetry to make of it a genre in its own right. During his lifetime several poets, principally Kikaku, Ransetsu, Kyorai, Joso, Kyoroku, Shiko, Sampu, Yaha and Hokushi, became his devoted students, embodying in their own poetry the aesthetic principles Basho had taught them. Thus a poetic tradition was established, and was passed on through the generations. It is generally believed that Basho was trained as a Buddhist monk at Kinpukuji in Kyoto during the years 1666-1671, where his studies included Japanese and Chinese classics and calligraphy. In 1672 he moved to Edo (Tokyo), where he became actively engaged in writing poetry. Throughout the years of his residence in this city (1673-1684) he also practiced Zen meditation under the guidance of Buchho, a priest residing at Chokeiji Temple.

Shadow Poetry -- Resources -- Basho
Haiku Basics article appeared in the Spring 2005 issue of the SP Quill Quarterly Magazine by CarrieAnn Thunell.
http://www.shadowpoetry.com/resources/haiku/basho.html

Extractions: In this edition we turn our eyes to the Far East to consider the poet Basho, born in 1644, some 30 miles southeast of Kyoto. Basho is revered as the greatest of Japans haiku poets. He was born Matsuo Kinsaku, but later changed his name to Basho, which means, Banana Tree. He did this because he was deeply touched when a disciple gifted him with a living banana tree. Throughout his short life, (he died in 1694), Basho was drawn to the solitary path of a wanderer. a wanderer, the first winter rain. At the time when Basho appeared on the Japanese literary landscape, the haiku form was already well established, but was dying off as a vital literary genre due to the many dry rules governing its expression. Basho believed that an accurate communication of the experience of oneness with nature was far more important than the rules of form. Learn of the pine from the pine; learn of the bamboo from the bamboo. States Basho. Basho made his living by teaching haikai-no-renga, a form of collaborative linked verse that predates haiku. He also wrote haibun, which took the form of short travel journal prose entries sprinkled lightly with haiku. His most famous travel journal haibun collection is called, Narrow Road To The Interior. In 1998, Sam Hamill translated this travel journal, several others, and a selection of Bashos haiku, under the title

Extractions: "No matter where your interest lies, you will not be able to accomplish anything unless you bring your deepest devotion to it." - Matsuo Basho Basho "In the second year of the Jokyo period (1685) at dawn on the 14th day of the Ninth Month, Basho had a strange dream in which he was caught in a rainstorm and ran into a shrine to take shelter. The priest scolded him and turned him away, but then said he could stay if he could make a haiku that fit the moment. Basho replied, 'Oh, well, at this very place ...' and produced a haiku." - Reference: volume IX of the complete works of Basho published by Kadokawa Shoten Matsuo Munefusa, alias Basho (1644-94), was a Japanese poet and writer during the early Edo period. He took his pen name Basho from his basho-an, a hut made of plantain leaves, to where he would withdraw from society for solitude. Born of a weathy family, Basho was a Samurai until the age of 20, at which time he devoted himself to his poetry. Basho was a main figure in the development of haiku, and is considered to have written the most perfect examples of the form. His poetry explores the beauties of nature and are influenced by Zen Buddhism, which lends itself to the meditative solitude sensed in his haiku. He traveled extensively throughout his lifetime. His 1689 five-month journey deep into the country north and west of Edo provided the insight for his most famous work Oku no hosomichi (Narrow Road to the Deep North). This great work was posthumoustly published in 1702 and is still read by most Japanse high school students.

Basho, Plodding After Saigyo - Articles - House Of Hermits - Hermitary
The poetry of basho and his itinerant travels as a hermit were influenced by his predecessor Saigyo.
http://www.hermitary.com/articles/basho_saigyo.html

Extractions: T he genius of Basho (1644-94) is not only evident in his codifying the structure of haiku but in retaining and extending to haiku the sabi sensibility inherited by his predecessors. Sabi is the subjective element of loneliness that conveys an emotional color or pathos to the art object. While this quality is not unique to haiku, Basho refined it in haiku through images, seasonal words, and symbolic elements. In sabi sensibility, Basho was strongly influenced by his twelfth-century predecessor Saigyo (1118-90). Saigyo and Basho, poets of sabi The concept of sabi had a rich and complex history even before Saigyo's era, harkening back to elements of Confucian, Taoist, and Shinto philosophy and spiritual traditions. While literally meaning "loneliness," sabi is the atmosphere of solitude, of attentiveness to impermanence and the nature of being, tinged with an aesthetic sense of irony, pathos and what might be called in the West melancholy or even a "tragic sense."

He spent his life close to nature. After a year in 1683 during which his hut burned down and his mother died, he took to the road. From the age of forty (in 1684) he travelled from place to place, like a tramp or wandering monk, walking through the countryside, living by teaching poetry in each town or village where he stopped. His attitude to nature was humble, selfless, and deeply respectful. He said, "Go to the pine if you want to learn about the pine, or to the bamboo if you want to learn about the bamboo. In doing so, you must leave your preoccupation with yourself. Otherwise you impose yourself on the object and do not learn. Your poetry issues of its own accord when you and the object have become one when you have plunged deep enough into the object to see something like a hidden glimmering there."

Extractions: Basho's JOURNEY This small piece is entirely impossible to be translated. The occasion it had been written is clear, for Matsuo Basho left record on a volume of sheets. The volume became known as Oku no Hoso Michi ; where Oku, meaning a far side, was a name given vaguely to the north-eastern half of Japan. The poet went to the journey early in 1689; he was on it until late fall that year. This piece was written down when his journey came virtually to its end. He spent his last years finishing the volume; he deceased in 1694 when it was done. Above all what has been said, Basho was a man who saw life a journey. Every journey has one thing in common: it has to end. If you have somebody near you who is familiar with the Japanese language, the person might be able to explain the literal meaning of it.

Although his initial influences were Frank Zappa and Mahivishnu Orchestra , it was Leo Kottke who inspired Junghans's first major epiphany. Junghans decided to pursue steel string and 12-string acoustic guitar composition and soon became a prominent figure in the East German music scene. In 1981 he founded an annual "all-style" guitar festival in Potsdam. It was the first guitar festival in Germany to focus on experimental and alternative styles. It later moved to Berlin to reach a wider audience.
