Basho's Journey: The Literary Prose Of Matsuo Basho



 "my native home

weeping over my umbilical cord 

at year’s end 

furusato ya / heso no o ni naku /toshi no knre 

On New Year’s Eve, reluctant to part with the passing year, I drank deep into the night, and then slept through New Year’s morning." 

Basho's journey

The celebrations must be to not feel this resistance of nostalgia and move along with the four seasons of the next year.
