@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" Steffen Basho-Junghans 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 !...

Basho by Kevin Kizer September 20, 2001 6:22 pm HAIKU "There came a day when the clouds drifting along with the wind aroused a wanderlust in me, and I set off on a journey to roam along the seashores." - Basho Prologue to Narrow Road to a Far Province In the early centuries of Japanese history, there was a strong tradition of pilgrimage, particularly among poet-monks. This can be seen as a parallel to similar movements in medieval Europe and in America. 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.

Links Poets by: Name Tradition Century Timeline Poetry by: Theme Commentary Forum Poetry Chaikhana Radio ... 17th Century Japan (East Asia) Basho Timeline Poems by Basho Books Links Basho took his name from the Japanese word for "banana tree." He was given a gift of a banana tree by a student and the poet immediately identified with it: the way the small tree just stood there with its large, soft, fragile leaves. (See his banana plant haiku.) Basho was probably born in 1644 in Iga Province outside of Kyoto, Japan. His father was probably a poor samurai-farmer. As a teenager, Basho entered the service of the local lord, acting as a page. The young lord was only a couple of years older than Basho, and the two became friends, enjoying the playful exchange of haiku verses. When Basho was a young man, his friend and lord died and the lord's brother took over the clan. In reaction, Basho left home, abandoned his samurai status, and took to a life of wandering. After several years, he settled in Edo (Tokyo), continuing to write and publish poetry. His haiku began to garner notariety. Students began to gather around Basho. At about this time, Basho also started to practice Zen meditation.

Sangha Our community. Matsuo Basho and Zen Haiku 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. Since the writing of haiku poetry has been a popular pastime in Japan since the 17th century, it is hardly possible to call the whole body of haiku "Zen literature." Nevertheless, Zen thought and experience have had a pervasive influence upon the practice of this art. 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.

This particular article appeared in the Spring 2005 issue of the SP Quill Quarterly Magazine. 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 Japan’s 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, let that be my name— 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 Basho’s haiku, under the title

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.

37. 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

HOME Articles Book Reviews Features ARTICLES: HOUSE OF HERMITS The following article (by Meng-hu) is reprinted from Simply Haiku : A Quarterly Journal of Japanese Short Form Poetry , Winter 2005, vol. 3., no. 4 (www.simplyhaiku.com) . Reprinted with permission. 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." One of Basho's fans, a poetry student, came to him and said, "I've got a great idea for a poem! It goes: 'Pull the wings off a dragonfly, and look - you get a red pepperpod!'"

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. But the person has to be the one who knows life better. Of course, the best thing is you start learning it. You may download it at here . It is in ".gif" format, 9 Kbytes in size.

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.
