@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 !...

Matsuo Bashô (1644-1694) Basho's Haiku (Autumn) tr. by Jane Reichhold
Matsuo Basho's
Narrow Road to the Deep North tr. by Nobuyuki Yuasa
"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.

http://www.stonebridge.com/BASHONARROW/basho.html
Matsuo Basho (1644-94) is considered Japan's greatest haiku poet. Narrow Road to the Interior (Oku no Hosomichi) is his masterpiece. Ostensibly a chronological account of the poet's five-month journey in 1689 into the deep country north and west of the old capital, Edo, the work is in fact artful and carefully sculpted, rich in literary and Zen allusion and filled with great insights and vital rhythms. In Basho's Narrow Road: Spring and Autumn Passages , poet and translator Hiroaki Sato presents the complete work in English and examines the threads of history, geography, philosophy, and literature that are woven into Basho's exposition. He details in particular the extent to which Basho relied on the community of writers with whom he traveled and joined in linked verse (renga) poetry sessions, an example of which, A Farewell Gift to Sora , is included in this volume. In explaining how and why Basho made the literary choices he did, Sato shows how the poet was able to transform his passing observations into words that resonate across time and culture. Hiroaki Sato has published over two dozen books, of which seventeen are translations of Japanese poetry into English.

Basho in Yamagata, a Proposal
Go down to the Japanese part In 1689, during the early Edo period, haiku poet Basho who tunrned 45 years old, went on a five months trip to the Northeastern and Japan Sea regions of Japan, accompanied by Sora, one of his deciples. The haiku poems he wrote during this trip was summarized as a haiku essay called "The Narrow Roads to the Interior Lands," whose main haiku were made in the middle and north parts of Yamagata Prefecture, such as: Quietness,
and the cicadas' chirping sounds
being absorbed by the rocks. The rain of May being
Gathered by the swiflyt-flowing
Mogami River. The years 1996 and 1997 are historical for the researchers of Basho's haiku: a copy of "The Narrow Roads of the Interior Lands" of his own writing was found in Osaka, and its copies have been made available in two books: "Basho Jihitsubon: Oku no Hoso-michi" (Nakao Shosendo, Nov., 1996; a limited edition) and "Basho Jihitsu: Oku no Hoso-michi" (Iwanami Shoten, Jan., 1997; a popular edition). It was found that it contained many corrections and that Basho's haiku was not instantly made, but created and perfected after many agonizing revisions. This home page includes the newly found original of Basho's classic, with modern Japanese and English translations, illustrated by photos taken by the participants. It is expected to be created in January-June, 1997. If you are literature-minded, you are welcome to add your comments about Abbot Inno (988-?), Abbot Saigyo (1118-1190), Yoshitsune Minamoto (1159-1189) and Sogi (1421-1502), whose footprints Basho had said that he wanted to trace.

By Psychotronic add to favorites add to your website add to del.icio.us Copy all text in the text box below and paste into your website template or HTML file... Basho Kioku is the latest puzzle game from prolific designer Yoshio Ishii of Nekogames . You are faced with a grid of 36 squares, and your goal is to click on each of them in turn. Each round, a random combination of these squares lights up orange, and you must choose one of them. There is no indication of which squares you've previously selected, but if you pick a square more than once, you lose a life. Losing three lives ends your game. You'll be under a strict time limit, and your score depends on how quickly you make your choices. Sounds easy, doesn't it? But unless your brain is much less packed with cotton than mine, it's impossible to remember more than a few steps back. The real game is in figuring out a system for keeping track of your progress, using the six draggable markers provided in a box on the left side of the screen. You can position these markers freely, even on the borders between squares, and it will pay to invent a foolproof shorthand for yourself. Ishii-san coats the simple idea in an understated shimmery gloss, complete with wonderfully quirky and anxious background music. There is an unfortunate Flash-related exploit (find it yourself) that could potentially spoil the game, but there's really no point in cheating at a little puzzle like this. It's an otherwise flawless koan that plays on the tension between the randomness of your choices and the solidity of your strategy. Nicely done, Nekogames.

Hakuho slips to 1st loss at Spring basho
James Hardy / Daily Yomiuri Sportswriter Aminishiki played the old "now you see me, now you don't" trick on Hakuho to condemn the yokozuna to his first loss at the Spring Grand Sumo Tournament on Wednesday. The No. 2 maegashira's slick sidestep and slapdown of the reigning champion threw open the race for the Emperor's Cup and gave yokozuna Asashoryu a chance to take a one-win lead over his rival. Asashoryu (4-0) duly smashed out a win over luckless No. 2 maegashira Miyabiyama (0-4) to earn some valuable breathing space after four days of action at Osaka Prefectural Gym. Hakuho's loss was only his second to Aminishiki (2-2) but reinforced the Aomori native's reputation for making life uncomfortable for the top ranks. "He got me good and proper," Hakuho told reporters afterward. "I have no way to describe itI guess something was lacking." Aminishiki was sheepishly relieved. "I just moved," he said. "I want to do better sumo than that, but my legs are shot so I can't." Asashoryu now shares an unbeaten record with six rank and filers, the highest ranked of whom is No. 5 maegashira Kokkai.

The shorthand-looking poem to the left is by the Japanese Zen poet Matsuo Basho (Matsuo Munefusa) (1644-94). To the right a Scandinavian proverb is broken up and shortened to fill three lines, to compare with.
Many of Basho's haiku poems were actually the hokku (initial verse) of a renga (linked verse).
One is to open up and remain receptive to enjoy haiku poetry.
BASHO abandoned for poetry the samurai (warrior) status he had earned, and gradually got a reputation as a skilled poet and able critic. As a poet he is credited with elevating haiku to a highly refined "telegram art" that is marked by love of the unobtrusive, as in the poem: Scent of chrysanthemums ...
And in Nara All the ancient Buddhas. There are deep meanings in the poem. You are supposed to attune to it all right so as to derive benefit, by knitting associations from your own dear experiences to it. Do it to your ability and see what happens after some weeks or two-three months. This poem is not as brittle as it looks like in English translation either. Such poetry has earned him a reputation as the greatest Japanese haiku poet of Japan - he is also known for many travels through books he wrote of what he saw and took part in. FOLLOWING Zen lines of thinking he tried to compress the meaning of the world he got aware of, into "the simple pattern", at the same time trying to hint at interdependence of all objects. He often strove for that. His very first verse in the "new style" or new-found style may serve as an example:

He was given a gift of a banana tree by a student and the poet immediately identified with it: the way the small tree 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 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.

Part 4 - Haiku and Zen
Zen Buddhism has significantly shaped the historical development of Japanese haiku. Not all the haiku poets were Zen Buddhists, but several key figures were. Basho was Zen trained, and ordained as a priest, but he did not seem to make up his mind if he was a priest or not. In one of his travel sketches he describes himself as being dressed in a priest’s black robe, "but neither a priest nor an ordinary man of this world was I, for I wavered ceaselessly like a bat that passes for a bird at one time and for a mouse at another." He did not have a parish and priestly duties, but he often wore the robes. Issa lived for several years in monasteries and took his name from the Buddhist ideas of emptiness and change. "Inasmuch as life is empty as a bubble which vanishes instantly, I will henceforth call myself Haikaiji Issa," he wrote. Haikaiji means "haiku temple" and Issa means "one tea," signifying a bubble in a cup of tea. When Issa was paralysed by a stroke at the age of fifty eight, and recovered, he changed his name to Soseibo, meaning "Revived priest." The ancient poets Basho most admired were two Chinese Zen eccentrics who lived on 'Cold Mountain' sometime between the sixth and ninth centuries, Han-shan and Shih-te, and a Japanese mainstream Buddhist of the twelfth century, Priest Saigyo.
