Podcasts about matsuo basho

Lesley Downer's fascination with Japan's most famous poet took her from Tokyo's drab industrial concrete into what was then a seldom-visited part of Honshu. It was a place of sake-drenched poetry sessions in thatched-roof highland villages, and holy mountains where modern ascetics continued to roam between their past and future lives in search of atonement. Her book about this journey, On The Narrow Road to the Deep North, was reissued by Eland in 2024. We spoke about Matsuo Basho's haiku, mountain ascetics and Japan's undiscovered north.

Gast: Jos Vos, vertaler In deze aflevering gaat Robert van Altena in gesprek met Jos Vos over het werk van de 17e eeuwse Japanse dichter Matsuo Bashō (1644 - 1694). Jos Vos is de vertaler van Matsuo Bashō, Verzamelde haiku's (Uitgeverij Athenæum, Polak & Van Gennep, 2023). Eerder vertaalde hij al Bashō's De herfstwind dringt door merg en been (Arbeiderspers, Privédomein deel 242, 2001) & De smalle weg naar het noorden (Arbeiderspers, Privédomein deel 256, 2005). Jos Vos was in 2013 al eens te gast bij Springvossen voor een gesprek over zijn vertaling van Het verhaal van Genji, een feuilleton roman uit de 11e eeuw van hofdame Murasaki Shikibu (Uitgeverij Athenæum, Polak & Van Gennep, 2013) een van de grote historische schatten van de Japanse letteren.

Amy Chavez speaks with Lesley Downer, an expert on Japanese culture and history who writes both fiction and non-fiction. Her novels transport readers to the intriguing world of 19th-century Japan, while her non-fiction takes us along  the Narrow Road to the Deep North with poet Matsuo Basho; behind the scenes of the Japanese geisha community; and into the intrigues of the richest family in Japan. In this episode, she discusses her just-released The Shortest History of Japan: From Mythical Origins to Pop Culture Powerhouse, which provides a concise yet detailed account of Japanese history.Lesley highlights the significance of historical figures like Himiko, the shaman queen who unified Yamatai, and Empresses Suiko and Koken, who ruled Japan in their own right. She also touches on the feminist movement in Japan, particularly the contributions of Hiratsuka Raicho and Akiko Yosano. Lastly, she shares insights into her writing career, including her transition from nonfiction to fiction and her research on geisha.Lesley mentions Yosano Akiko's poem "Until Death Do Us Part" ("Shini tanoma") which she wrote before her brother went off to war:Until Death Do Us Partby Yosano AkikoThough my body dies,My soul will remain with you.Until the end of time,Let us pledge to be together,Until death do us part.(translation: ChatGPT 4o)Lesley's three favorite books on Japan:1. Japan Journal, 1855-1861 (1964) by Henry Heusken, which covers the author's experiences during his time as the secretary and interpreter for Townsend Harris, the first U.S. Consul General to Japan.2. As We Saw Them: The First Japanese Embassy to the United States (1979) by Masao Miyoshi, about the first Japanese diplomats who visited the United States in 1860.3. Taiko: An Epic Novel of War and Glory in Feudal Japan  (1992) by Yoshikawa Eiij, a historical novel that tells the story of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, one of Japan's greatest warlords and unifiers during the Sengoku period.

The first and third tracks have Japanese lyrics and I would like to explain them.
The first song is Ambient by Bodaishin. "Welcome to this magical world. A place where the unreal becomes real. Where the mind leaves the body, illusions create energy, souls, dreams, our inner being." That's what she says in Japanese, although it's hard to hear some of the words.
The third piece was Erdi Irmak's Ink Brush, a 17th century haiku by Matsuo Basho, which I have covered before, so let me briefly explain. In modern language, it says, "The time has come for this shabby hermitage, which I have grown accustomed to living in, to be replaced. Someone will move in later and decorate it with Hina doll to make it more gorgeous." That's what it means.
There are many other good songs. Enjoy listening to them all.

There are many, many ways to see Japan, but I think I've just experienced my favourite: on foot. In late September/early October 2023, I undertook a six-day trip with Walk Japan, on the Self-Guided Basho Wayfarer walk around Sendai. And it was brilliant! In this episode, I give an overview of the content and logistics of this trip, which essentially includes hiking various segments of the route that haiku poet Matsuo Basho took in the 1700s, as he describes in his book "Narrow Road to the Deep North". It had all the elements of a trip that I need to really love it: incredible scenery, interesting sightseeing spots, truly delicious food, some great interactions with locals, and all with one of my best friends. What more could a girl ask for? Most of this episode is a chat I recorded with my travel companion, Catherine Marshall, about our highlights from the trip. We cover our favourite hiking, food, train, and accommodation moments, along with our most unexpected highlights.  Links: Walk Japan main website - https://walkjapan.com/ Self-Guided Basho Wayfarer walk - https://walkjapan.com/tour/self-guided-basho-wayfarer  Cape to Cape Track Episode 276 - https://notaballerina.com/276  Catherine Marshall on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/zizzyballord  Join our Facebook group for Thoughtful Travellers - https://www.facebook.com/groups/thoughtfultravellers Join our LinkedIn group for Thoughtful Travellers - https://notaballerina.com/linkedin Show notes: https://notaballerina.com/308 Disclaimer stuff: I was hosted for this trip, which means Walk Japan covered my travel costs.

Ha sido contada durante décadas en el Asia central e, incluso hoy, se relata en Kirguistán, y eso que tiene 180.378 versos, versos de violencia. Por el contrario, los haikus son poemas japoneses que solo pueden tener 17 sílabas. Y lo cierto es que es más difícil decir mucho con pocas palabras. Envolver la profundidad con sencillez es el arte que muy pocos conocen. Los haikus suelen expresar experiencias de contemplación de la naturaleza y en su brevedad describen paisajes y emociones. Matsuo Basho fue el poeta más significativo de este estilo. Observa este poema:Este camino ya nadie lo recupera salvo el crepúsculo.El discurso más largo de nuestra historia es el de Satanás. Lleva siglos diciéndonos que Dios es injusto, que solo tiene apariencia de bondad y que no debiera ser el soberano del universo. Lleva siglos convenciéndonos de que no hay futuro, que disfrutemos el presente, que seamos nuestros propios dioses, que luchemos por nosotros porque los demás no importan. Y mucha gente relata sus epopeyas como si fueran verdad. Pero no es así. Por eso vino Jesús a este mundo, para demostrar cómo era realmente su padre, para sintetizar la grandeza de su bondad. Y convirtió las palabras en milagros, en sonrisas, en esperanza. Allá por donde iba surgía la luz, se abrazaba la verdad. Y, por si no fuera suficiente, decidió realizar el mayor poema de amor jamás contado. Apenas una palabra que contenía todas las emociones y los paisajes. Apenas una palabra que rasgó el templo. Apenas una palabra que sumió en silencio el universo. Allí, el hombre más bueno que jamás existiera, colgado de una cruz, dolorido por nuestros pecados, exclamó como el mejor de los rapsodas: ¡Kulah! (¡Cumplido!, ¡Consumado es!). ¡Qué belleza! ¡Qué grandiosidad! ¡Cuánta sencillez para tantísimo amor! Y lo hizo todo por ti, porque te quiere, porque eres lo más importante para él, porque tú le inspiras.Al contemplarle, al sentir la poesía de su vida y sacrificio, nos convertimos en sus testigos. Y cuando nos preguntan sobre las experiencias de la vida, sobre el camino que anhelamos proponer, solo podemos contestar que:Este camino solo él lo recorrió y salvó al mundo.

Origins of Religions and Spirituality Religion: Religions are most often based upon the lives, teachings, and beliefs of a historical or archetypal figure (e.g., Christ, Buddha, Moses, Krishna, Muhammad). The details of their lives as holy or highly evolved beings have been carried to us across the mists of time through oral tradition and written scriptures. These figures are the subject of worship and devotion and form the foundation of religious practices and rituals in a community.   Spirituality: By contrast, spirituality is more often based upon the practical application of the founder's teachings. Spiritual aspirants heed the advice of Japanese poet Matsuo Basho, “Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise. Seek what they sought.”                      Religious Vs Spiritual/Was Jesus Married? An ancient manuscript in the vaults of the British library is all set to change history. Jesus married the prostitute Mary Magdalene and had children, according to a manuscript almost 1,500 years old unearthed at the British Library. The so-called “Lost Gospel”, which has been translated from Aramaic, allegedly reveals the startling new allegations, according to The Sunday Times. Professor Barrie Wilson and writer Simcha Jacobovic spent months translating the text, which they claim states Jesus had two children and the original Virgin Mary was Jesus's wife and not his mother. The New Testament does not tell us directly whether Jesus was married or not. Given the lack of an explicit statement on the matter, one might think there can be no objection to the suggestion that Jesus was married, or at least might have been. One might even suppose that it doesn't matter one way or the other. However, much more is at stake here than the question of Jesus' marital status, as a review of the history of discussions of this matter will make clear. Thus, in addressing the issue of whether Jesus was married, we will not only be answering that question but will also be learning quite a bit about Jesus and at the same time debunking some radically erroneous claims about him.

La antología botánica de la poeta Emily Dickinson, seleccionadas y traducidas por Eva Gallud, junto a fotografías del herbario que recogiera entre los años 1839 y 1849, hacen de este libro editado por @yalodijocasimiroparker una joya desde el punto de vista literario y estético. “Los poemas de Dickinson recorren los bosques en mitad de la noche, trepan a los árboles,, encuentran pájaros dormidos y recolectan flores y hojas a diario para convertirse en un registro del entorno, una radiografìa de lo que observa su mirada y acaricia en con la yema de los dedos”, dicen Eva Gallud y Marcos Almendros. Si de poemas y bosques se trata, la antología bilingüe “20 poemas al árbol y un cactus de la costa” de Pablo Neruda (Liberalia, 2022), con la traducción de Mónica Cumar y las ilustraciones de Francisco Ramos es un libro para las almas árboreas. “Neruda ve y retrata el bosque como un lugar sagrado, como ese mundo exclusivo y protegido que le pertenece, que es parte de su ser”, dice Mónica Cúmar. “Viaje Natural. Un encuentro entre el arte y la ciencia” de las autoras Josefina Hepp, Vivian Lavín y María José Arce es una invitación a recorrer la inteligencia de las plantas junto a increíbles ilustraciones botánicas. Las citas de autoras, naturalistas y científicas conforman un conjunto armonioso de información científica y belleza vegetal de amplia lectura. La antología “Memoria y haiku” (Nordica Libros, 2022) plantea un itinerario contemplativo de la mano de Matsuo Basho, Natsume Sôseki, Masaola Shiki, Kobayashi Issa, Kyoshi Takahama, entre otros grandes maestros del haiku de todos los tiempos, organizada en torno a las ilustraciones de Pep Carrió para configurar una experiencia estética única. Es un libro bilingüe castellano – japonés. Para disfrutar la mesa y el goce de estar junto a quienes se quiere, el libro “Recita tu receta” de Jorge Lillo Valenzuela (Liberalia,2018) es un libro que abre apetitos y corazones. “Un recetario ha de ser sencillo y claro; nada de términos raros ni de palabras en francés. Mucho menos en inglés, si es de cocina criolla, donde reina la cebolla de los agrarios jardines, pa ayudar a quien cocine al diario parar la olla”, dice Lillo. ¡Feliz Navidad! de Michaela Schwermann y Federico Fernández es un trabajo que busca comparar nuestras culturas, la alemana con la de América Latina y España, desde el punto de vista de las tradiciones navideñas y de fin de año. Se aprecia, por ejemplo, que “ la tradicional Noche de Paz, si bien esta canción de origen austríaco también forma parte del repertorio español y latino, ¡aunque como importación exótica! Las canciones propias son mucho más menos tranquilas y esto tiene su explicación en su origen”, dice Micaela. Este libro también recoge canciones y sus partituras, cuentos, tradiciones e incluso recetas, para disfrutar en familia. Todos estos libros están disponibles en @libreriadelgam y en @prosaypolitica La periodista Vivian Lavín conversa con la librera Berta Inés Concha sobre estas colecciones que llegan a Chile.

Episode 59: How Still is about the Brady Bunch, paper dolls, asses, and Mrs. Santa Claus. Actually, it's about a perfectly lovely Matsuo Basho haiku sent to us on a postcard from Japan in the year 2013. And it's also about the Brady Bunch, paper dolls, asses . . .

The Royal Society's Latin motto, 'Nullius in verba,' translates to "Take nobody's word for it." The motto reminded the Society's members to verify information through experiments and not just based on authority.   1694 Death of Matsuo Basho ("Bash=oh"), Japanese poet. He is remembered as the most famous poet of the Edo period and the greatest master of haiku.  In one verse, Matsuo wrote, The temple bell stops But I still hear the sound coming out of the flowers.   And in another poem from his book on traveling, he wrote, Many things of the past Are brought to my mind, As I stand in the garden Staring at a cherry tree.   1854 Birth of Gottlieb Haberlandt, Austrian botanist. His father was a pioneer in 'soybean' work, and his physiologist son is now regarded as the grandfather of the birth control pill. As for Gottlieb, he grew plant cells in tissue culture and was the first scientist to point out the possibility of the culture of Isolated & Plant Tissues. In 1902 he shared his original idea called totipotentiality ("to-'ti-pe-tent-chee-al-it-tee"), which Gottlieb defined as "the theory that all plant cells can give rise to a complete plant." Today we remember Gottlieb as the father of plant tissue culture. During the 1950s scientists proved Gottlieb's totipotentiality. Indeed, any part of a plant grown in nutrient media under sterile conditions can create a whole new plant. Today, the technique of tissue culture is a very efficient tool for propagating improved plants for food, hardiness, and beauty.    1881 Birth of Stefan Zweig, Austrian writer. During the 1920s and 1930s, at the peak of his career, Stefan was one of the most widely translated writers in the world.  In The Post-Office Girl, Stefan wrote, For this quiet, unprepossessing, passive man who has no garden in front of his subsidised flat, books are like flowers. He loves to line them up on the shelf in multicoloured rows: he watches over each of them with an old-fashioned gardener's delight, holds them like fragile objects in his thin, bloodless hands.   Grow That Garden Library™ Book Recommendation English Cottage by Andrew Sankey  This book came out in 2022, and it is a master guide to cottage-style gardening. The chapters in this book cover: The History of the Cottage Garden, Creating the "Cottage Garden Style, Cottage Planting Style, Cottage Flowers, Companion Planting, Green Structure, and Traditional Features. In the Preface, Andrew shares a bit about his background and how he came to master English Cottage Gardening. My first introduction to the style of the English cottage garden came when I was given a copy of Margery Fish's book, We Made a Garden. Having been enthralled with the book, I then traveled down to Somerset to see her wonderful cottage garden at East Lambrook Manor. Shortly after this, Geoff Hamilton started to construct his cottage gardens for the BBC Gardeners' World programs and it soon became apparent that this was the style of gardening I myself wished to adopt. Not long after this I moved to Lincolnshire and started my own garden design/landscaping business, and I soon realized it was difficult to obtain the more unusual plants required for number of my garden designs, in particular plants for dry shade positions. This encouraged me to look for a larger garden with the potential to run a small specialist nursery. This resulted in purchasing Grade II listed cottage (built in 1852) with a good-sized old cottage garden. Although the original garden (like many in Lincolnshire) had once been an extremely long strip stretching back to the village pond, the plot that came with the cottage was much reduced. Nevertheless, at almost half an acre it was more than enough for me to manage. Luckily the garden was pretty much a blank canvas, having a couple of large old fruit trees, a vegetable patch, various outbuildings and a chicken hut; and this afforded me the opportunity to make something special of the garden. It was here that my love for cottage gardens blossomed. Over time I re-designed the garden, I created different rooms/areas, spring and summer borders, and began experimenting with colour schemes and companion planting. I joined the Cottage Garden Society and then helped form the Lincolnshire branch, eventually becoming chairman. Within a few years I opened the garden under the National Gardens Scheme; I then started writing articles and lecturing on different aspects of the cottage garden. This book is the culmination of my years working on my own cottage gardens, designing and creating cottage gardens for clients, experimenting with companion planting and lecturing widely on the subject. I very much hope you enjoy it. This book is 192 pages of cottage garden style in all its glory, with many lovely and inspiring photographs.  You can get a copy of English Cottage by Andrew Sankey and support the show using the Amazon link in today's show notes for around $25.   Botanic Spark 1757 Birth of William Blake, English poet. During his lifetime, William wrote in relative obscurity. Today, he is an essential poet of the Romantic Age. He wrote, In seed-time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy.   In his poem, Auguries of Innocence, he wrote, 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.   In his poem, A Poison Tree, William wrote about anger as a tree that grows as it gets tended. I was angry with my friend: I told my wrath, my wrath did end. I was angry with my foe; I told it not, my wrath did grow. And I water'd it in fears, Night & morning with my tears; And I sunned it with smiles And with soft deceitful wiles. And it grew both day and night, Till it bore an apple bright; And my foe beheld it shine, And he knew that it was mine, And into my garden stole, When the night had veiled the pole: In the morning glad I see My foe outstretched beneath the tree.    Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener And remember: For a happy, healthy life, garden every day.

Empezamos la temporada recordando a Almudena Grandes en compañía de Luis García Montero, que nos presenta Un año y tres meses (Ed. Tusquets), un poemario sobre la enfermedad, los cuidados y la pérdida que se lee como una declaración de amor a la escritora madrileña, a la que homenajeamos rescatando algunos de los mensajes que los oyentes nos enviaron al programa tras su fallecimiento. También leemos un fragmento de Maria Chapdelaine, de Louis Hémon, considerada la gran novela del Canadá francés, que explora la compleja relación del ser humano con la naturaleza y que acaba de ser reeditada en nuestro país por la editorial Renacimiento, como nos cuenta Javier Lostalé. Terminamos con las Iluminaciones de Mariano Peyrou, que hoy recupera algunos versos de Matsuo Basho, maestro del haiku y autor del poema más famoso de Japón. Una dosis de espíritu zen que se nos antoja ideal para encarar el nuevo curso tras las vacaciones de verano. Escuchar audio

Um episódio reflexivo para nossa semana com poemas do Matsuo Basho.

Life in the ancient world was often brutal and cruel. Resources were often limited leading to leaders ruthless edicts. In this old Japanese folktale, a young peasant is faced with an impossible decision.Matsuo Basho, one of Japan's most famous poets, was born 1644 and is known for creating the poetic style that eventually evolved into what are now known as haikus.

Sergio Levin, Silvana Amato, Marcelo Guaita, Marcelo Moreno, Amelita Baltar, Aldo Proietto, Tano Pedercini y Pablo Marchetti, nos comparten sus textos elegidos. ¿Qué entendemos por “Literatura de Aventuras”? ¿Y por “Impresionismo Literario”? ¿Qué es un “Haiku”? ¿Qué significa el término “Glosario” Alejandra Pizarnik le envía una carta a Rafael Squirru contándole, entre otras cosas, lo que le provoca el arte de escribir poemas. ¿Cuál era una de las comidas preferidas de Jean Paul Sartre y qué pensaba el escritor sobre el Premio Nobel? ¿Qué relación existió entre Julio Cortázar y el boxeo? ¿Qué simpática anécdota generó Oscar Wilde en una de las fiestas a las cuales era invitado? ¿Cómo definía Jack Kerouac a los haikus y cuándo los utilizaba? ¿De qué forma las guerras atravesaron la obra de Ernest Heminway? Antonin Artaud, Wallada Munstafki, Fran Lebowitz, Romina Paula, Matsuo Basho, Gloria Fuertes y Augusto Monterroso nos comparten sus poemas y narrativa en las voces de nuestros locutores Nos detenemos a pensar las letras de las canciones de artistas como Laura Canoura, Pappo, Joey Ramone, Fabiana Cantilo, entre otros. Y como siempre, escuchamos las voces de nuestros oyentes quienes nos acercan sus propios textos o aquellos que escogieron de otros, para seguir creando este infinito collage sonoro de lecturas compartidas. POESIA 1110: Un espacio para pensar y resonar el acto poético en todas sus formas; la poesía de todas las cosas

Denny dan Dame merenungkan haiku karya Matsuo Basho.Haiku ini menjadi genta kesadaran untuk kembali kepada kini dan di sini.Hadir teduh, senyap, tenang. Sepenuhnya menghayati kesadaran akan Tuhan.Dengarkan lengkapnya dalam Dialog Suwung episode ini.

„古池や 蛙飛び込む 水の音“ Dieses Haiku stammt von Matsuo Basho und ist eines der berühmtesten Haikus der Welt. Wie Cherry in „Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop“ widmen wir uns in dieser Folge zunächst diesem Anime sowie seinem Hintergrund und dann den Haikus: Wie sind sie äußerlich und inhaltlich aufgebaut, warum ist es so schwer, sie adäquat zu übersetzen und wo man heutzutage noch mit ihnen in Berührung kommt.

On 6th December 1878, there was a great concourse of more than 700 people who assembled in the new premises of the Philip Christian Endowed School in Peel, funded by the Clothworkers' Guild of the City of London, of which Philip Christian had been a Warden, and had left London property in his will to the Guild's trust to use the rental to pay for education in his native Peel, where he'd been born in 1593. Our short story in Manx was written by Japanese writer, Matsuo Basho. It's about an old woman whose ingenuity leads to the reversal of a tyrannical law which would otherwise have led to her death.

James Harrison poses us nine questions in 'Jamys Jeheiney', in the programme which is a BBC/Manx Radio co-production. In 'Goll as Gaccan', Phil Gawne tells us the words of a rhyme connected with an old custom close to the start of this month, and of another rhyme connected with the Christmas time and with the New Year - perhaps some of those words will be useful for writing a message in Christmas cards. We have the opportunity to hear a short story that was written originally by Matsuo Basho, but called Yn Chenn Voir (The Old Mother) in a translation into the Manx Gaelic in 'Claare ny Gael'.  

In a short programme this time because of a Covid briefing, we hear how a case of mistaken identity brought a second celebration of St Maughold, with Shenn Laa'l Maghal Geuree, the old style St Maughold's winter feast day, on 26th November - the day when people elsewhere, particularly in Brittany, celebrate the feast day of St Malo.

Hello, Osaka, Japan! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is 60 Seconds, your daily dose of hope, imagination, wisdom, stories, practical tips, and general riffing on this and that.Do you enjoy haiku? Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry of three short lines that do not rhyme: 5 syllables first line, 7 syllables 2nd line, 5 syllables 3rd line.  Haiku is a way of looking through a tiny window at the natural world and seeing something deeper, like the very nature of existence.I’m fond of haiku for the creative discipline necessary to express ideas, capture a moment, or create a picture in 17 syllables. Try it yourself!Here's a haiku by Matsuo Basho"An old pond.A frog jumps in.The sound of water." [haiku by Japanese poet Matsuo Basho]Question: What is the wisdom in this moment? Breathe and be there.This is the place to thrive together.

The Aged Mother by Matsuo Basho Once more he shouldered his burden (how light it seemed now) and hastened down the path, through the shadows and the moonlight, to the little hut in the valley. Beneath the kitchen floor was a walled closet for food, which was covered and hidden from view. There the son hid his mother, supplying her with everything she needed, continually watching, and fearing she would be discovered. Time passed, and he was beginning to feel safe when again the governor sent forth heralds bearing an unreasonable order, seemingly as a boast of his power. His demand was that his subjects should present him with a rope of ashes. The entire province trembled with dread. The order must be obeyed yet who in all Shining could make a rope of ashes? One night, in great distress, the son whispered the news to his hidden mother. “Wait!” she said. “I will think. I will think” On the second day she told him what to do. “Make rope of twisted straw,” she said. “Then stretch it upon a row of flat stones and burn it on a windless night.” He called the people together and did as she said and when the blaze died down, there upon the stones, with every twist and fiber showing perfectly, lay a rope of ashes. The governor was pleased at the wit of the youth and praised greatly, but he demanded to know where he had obtained his wisdom. “Alas! Alas!” cried the farmer, “the truth must be told!” and with deep bows he related his story. The governor listened and then meditated in silence. Finally, he lifted his head. “Shining needs more than strength of youth,” he said gravely. “Ah, that I should have forgotten the well-known saying, “with the crown of snow, there cometh wisdom!” That very hour the cruel law was abolished, and custom drifted into as far a past that only legends remain. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/uirapuru/message

The Aged Mother by Matsuo Basho Also known as The Story of the Aged Mother, this Japanese folktale tells the story of an unkind ruler who issues cruel orders, including one demand that all old folks are to be abandoned and left to die. Basho tells a poignant story about a mother and her son and their love for one another. Long, long ago there lived at the foot of the mountain a poor farmer and his aged, widowed mother. They owned a bit of land which supplied them with food, and they were humble, peaceful, and happy. Shining was governed by a despotic leader who though a warrior, had a great and cowardly shrinking from anything suggestive of failing health and strength. This caused him to send out a cruel proclamation. The entire province was given strict orders to immediately put to death all aged people. Those were barbarous days, and the custom of abandoning old people to die was not uncommon. The poor farmer loved his aged mother with tender reverence, and the order filled his heart with sorrow. But no one ever thought twice about obeying the mandate of the governor, so with many deep and hopeless sighs, the youth prepared for what at that time was considered the kindest mode of death. Just at sundown, when his day's work was ended, he took a quantity of unwhitened rice which was the principal food for the poor, and he cooked, dried it, and tied it in a square cloth, which he swung in a bundle around his neck along with a gourd filled with cool, sweet water. Then he lifted his helpless old mother to his back and started on his painful journey up the mountain. The road was long and steep; the narrow road was crossed and re-crossed by many paths made by the hunters and woodcutters. In some place, they lost and confused, but he gave no heed. One path or another, it mattered not. On he went, climbing blindly upward -- ever upward towards the high bare summit of what is known as Obatsuyama, the mountain of the “abandoning of the aged.” The eyes of the old mother were not so dim but that they noted the reckless hastening from one path to another, and her loving heart grew anxious. Her son did not know the mountain's many paths and his return might be one of danger, so she stretched forth her hand and snapping the twigs from brushes as they passed, she quietly dropped a handful every few steps of the way so that as they climbed, the narrow path behind them was dotted at frequent intervals with tiny piles of twigs. At last the summit was reached. Weary and heart sick, the youth gently released his burden and silently prepared a place of comfort as his last duty to the loved one. Gathering fallen pine needles, he made a soft cushion and tenderly lifted his old mother onto it. He wrapped her padded coat more closely about the stooping shoulders and with tearful eyes and an aching heart he said farewell. The trembling mother's voice was full of unselfish love as she gave her last injunction. “Let not thine eyes be blinded, my son.” She said. “The mountain road is full of dangers. LOOK carefully and follow the path which holds the piles of twigs. They will guide you to the familiar path farther down.” The son's surprised eyes looked back over the path, then at the poor old, shriveled hands all scratched and soiled by their work of love. His heart broke within and bowing to the ground, he cried aloud: “oh, Honorable mother, your kindness breaks my heart! I will not leave you. Together we will follow the path of twigs, and together we will die!” --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/uirapuru/message

In learning more about the remarkable life of the Japanese poet Bashō (1644-1694), I felt so connected to his journey and indeed his writing! Bashō is known as the father of the haiku and popularized the “hokku” (later known as haiku) as an art form independent of the “renku.” In Bashō's haiku, undertones of Taoism and Zen are evident and I've included references to two books that highlight these connections further: “A Zen Wave: Basho's Haiku and Zen” by Robert Aitken and “Matsuo Basho” by Makoto Ueda. (Both books can be checked out for free at archive.org) I end the talk with Bashō's final haiku for your contemplation: On a journey, ailing — /My dreams roam about / Over a withered moor. Namasté. SelenaSage.com // email: selena@selenasage.com // Fb+IG: Selena Sage - Author // I dedicate this episode to my dear friend, teacher, and mentor Dr. General Marshall who shared his wisdom and kindness with the world so freely and whose light will be missed in this world, but now seen in the sky. Namasté.

Matsuo Basho has inspired the world of Haiku for over 300 years. In l689, Basho walked Japan’s Northern Interior, recording the essential and transient nature of what he encountered. This path was also a metaphoric trail into the strong desire to wander and the eternal question of human and divine. Like Basho, we bring this […]

Today we look a three things in one, all of them linked. A Yōkai known as the Shōkera, which links to the religion known as Kōshin, with this religion in turn having some interesting connections to some famous monkeys. And for the poem, we have a Winter Poem from one of our favourites: Bashō. *DISCLAIMER - we address a mistake within the episode, when we first mention that the monkeys grew their fame from a scroll, we actually meant to say they are famous for their depiction on the carving at the temple of Tōshō-gu, in Nikko. All other mentionings of the scrolls in the episiode are without mistakes in regards to their relationship with temples mentioned in the episode.* ~~ Review us over on: Podchaser.

Mamá osa está muy entusiasmada porque ¡va a votar! Hablamos de la democracia, de la responsabilidad de participar y de decidir, de la diferencia con la vida durante la dictadura. Los chicos y maestros de la escuela 326 de Ingeniero Jacobacci compartieron una clase sobre este tema y los chicos y maestra de 5º grado de la escuela 295 de Bariloche nos mandaron sus Haikus de la memoria.  Escuchamos "Jugando al hulla hulla" de los Twist por El jardín de la esquina, "Quiero para mí" de Canticuénticos, "Yo soy tu bandera" de los Abuelos de la Nada, "Pajarito" de Mariana Baggio, a Luis Alberto Spinetta explicando qué son los Haikus, "Soy pan, soy paz, soy más" por Mercedes Sosa, "Chistes para niños" de Luis Pescetti, y "Ahora vi" de Julián Muro con Dingungu. Leímos algunos Haikus de Matsuo Basho y "Un monte para vivir" de Gustavo Roldán.

This week, we delve into the life, legacy, and style of Matsuo Basho, Japan's most famous poet. Who was he? How did he develop his unique style? How did Japan's most famous haiku poet end up writing before the invention of the word "haiku"? All that and more!

Each month, librarians Carrie Green and Eden Grey bring you book recommendations and discuss the bites and beverages to pair with them. In our eleventh episode, we talk about some of our favorites, including books by Kevin Young, Alice Munro, Matsuo Basho, Pierce Brown, Tahrereh Mafi, Patricia A. McKillip, and more!

This episode of Haiku Chronicles takes us back to 16th century Japan when the first great Japanese master of haiku, Matsuo Basho wrote his breakthrough haiku, "Furu-Ike-Ya" (Old Pond). Donna Beaver and Alan Pizzarelli discuss the poem's interesting history and its influence on the poetic form of haiku.

August 27 (10:00 a.m.) Delivered at www.unityunitarian.org.   "Ordinary Things" by Richard Foushee This service will reflect on appreciating the simple in a complex world by exploring the writings of the 17th century haiku master Matsuo Basho.

In this episode, the poet, editor and translator Chris Beckett talks to Niall Munro about his latest book, "Tenderfoot". Chris discusses growing up in Ethiopia and questions of privilege, perceptions of Ethiopia and a responsibility he feels to write about the place and its people. Chris also talks about how he portrays his nascent sexuality and how he reflects on Ethopia then and now after numerous trips back to the country in recent years. Chris has published two collections with Carcanet, “Ethiopia Boy” in 2013, a sequence of praise poems about his childhood crush Abebe, and “Tenderfoot” in July this year. He co-translated and edited the first ever anthology of Ethiopian Amharic poetry, “Songs We Learn from Trees”, also out from Carcanet earlier this year. Chris's partner is Japanese painter and sculptor, Isao Miura. Together they published a book of drawings and poems in 2014, “Sketches from the Poem Road", after Matsuo Basho's Narrow Road to the Deep North” which was shortlisted for the Ted Hughes Award and led to a wonderful exhibition of sculpture, paintings and paper installation at the Glass Tank at Oxford Brookes University in 2016. You can find the poems that Chris discusses on the Poetry Centre's Podcast page, where there is also more information about Chris and his work.
