Downtown News Events Guide Visitors Guide Gallery Business Directory Economic Development About The DDC Helpful Links Downtown News Main The Place to Go January 13, 2006 With inspiration from world famous chef, downtown dining just got a little more cosmopolitan Basho Japanese fusion restaurant and lounge is an example of how the restaurant scene in St. John’s is growing and diversifying. With food inspired by world famous chef Nobu Matsuhisa (renowned for creating simple fusions of Japanese cuisine, inspired by ethnic influences), a modern, genuine Japanese décor and the option of experiencing fine dining or a casual lounge setting complete with contemporary music, Basho would be equally at home in Tokyo, New York or London. Tak Ishiwata, the owner of Basho (which means place in Japanese), was born and raised in Newfoundland and Labrador after his parents moved from Tokyo just over 30 years ago. Just as his restaurant changes the face of downtown St. John’s dining when it opened its doors on Duckworth Street in mid-December, Ishiwata was also challenged with the changing face of what was once Nageira’s restaurant (downstairs) and Finnegan’s Wake pub (upstairs). “It was hard to envision because the inside interior décor had an old-style Irish tavern sort of look to it and it looked very cramped and small,” Ishiwata tells The Independent, “but once we put my concept in the place it looked; it’s almost too big right now. I mean it seats 100 people.”

62. Hamill's Essential Basho This road, Sam Hamill tells us in his moving afterword to his important new translation of basho s travelogues, is at once the road of poetry, http://epc.buffalo.edu/authors/hartley/pubs/basho.html

BASHO'S ROAD The Essential Basho translated by Sam Hamill, Boston: Shambhala, 1998. Reviewed by George Hartley xx Just before his death in November 1694, Matsuo Basho wrote the following haiku: All along this road autumn evening xxxx Kono michi ya yuku hito nashi ni aki no kure This "road," Sam Hamill tells us in his moving afterword to his important new translation of Basho's travelogues, is at once the road of poetry, the road of Zen practice, and the road of life itself. All of these are one for Basho. So it was through his lifelong development of the Way of Poetry. In the autumn of his life Basho concerned himself with this road without a single soul; not only do we travel this road alone, but even the status of our own self ultimately has no meaning when confronted with the lonely depths of an autumn evening. The Basho we get in Hamill's translation is the Zen poet pilgrim. As in Peter Matthiessen's The Snow Leopard, Basho's works illustrate the unity of the journey and Zen practice. x Hamill's collection emphasizes this insight by centering on Basho's travelogues: the infamous Narrow Road to the Interior

63. Roll Over Basho: Who Japan Is Reading, And Why I sense a poignant urge to roll over Buson and basho, two of Japan s greatest poets, and to crash through the cultural gap that separates Japan to some http://www.nytimes.com/books/01/06/10/specials/murakami-japan.html

September 27, 1992 Roll Over Basho: Who Japan Is Reading, and Why apanese writers are very aware of what we're doing on this side of the Pacific and very well informed about American fiction, about American culture," says the novelist Jay McInerney. "Yet we're terribly ignorant in this country of Japanese fiction, Japanese culture. It is, I think, far more accessible than we might imagine." In an effort to correct this cultural trade imbalance, PEN, the writers' organization, brought Mr. McInerney together in New York with Haruki Murakami, a best-selling novelist in Japan, who is a visiting fellow in East Asian studies at Princeton University. Following are excerpts of the conversation between Mr. McInerney, whose novel "Ransom" is set in Japan, and Mr. Murakami, two of whose novels ("Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World" and "A Wild Sheep Chase") are available in English translations. Mr. McInerney and Mr. Murakami later expanded their observations for The Book Review. Jay McInerney: I happened to pass the marquee of the play "Why I Hate Hamlet," which put me on a train of associations having to do with the anxiety of influence and patricide. And it made me think of the invitation we sent out that stated that Haruki Murakami was the heir to Yukio Mishima. It's a notion that I've seen advanced before in American reviews and articles about Murakami's work, a notion that nicely represents, to put the mildest spin that I can on it, a relative innocence about recent developments in Japanese fiction.

70. Basho But basho wrote no discource on the principles of haiku and his works contain few traces of theory that we can draw upon to reconstruct his concepts. http://haiku.cc.ehime-u.ac.jp/~kametaro/basho.html

Basho's "Here and Now" Western writings on haiku freqentry assert that in Basho's view a haiku is what is happening here and now. But Basho wrote no discource on the principles of haiku and his works contain few traces of theory that we can draw upon to reconstruct his concepts. I have asked for help from colleagues who are spacialists in the literature of Edo Period (1600-1868; Matsuo Basho lived from 1644 to 1694), but none has found a clear statement of "here and now" principle. In my opinion this principle was established long before Basho. It seems to have been regarded as fundamental when haiku were still called haikai. Certainly every one of Basho's haiku testifies to the principle, though he never enunciated it. Mukai Kyorai (1651-1704) was one of the ten major disciples of Basho. His Kyoraisyo is considered the most important work dealing with the principles of haiku in Basho's time, but I cannot find anything in it that bears directly on this topic. Kagami Shiko was another of Basho's ten most important disciples. A chapter called "Sonentei yo-banashi" in his Fukuro-nikki reports a discussion about haiku by Kyorai in which he stated that haiku are concerned with "what is spontaneous on the spot." Shiko added that Basho praised that statement. As a peripheral note, I mention a story about Basho found on page 285, volume IX of the complete works of Basho published by Kadokawa Shoten, (1967):

March 10 ~  Bamboo From Bamboo Haiku Journey Learn about pines from the p i n e, and a b o u t bamboo fr o m the bamboo." ~ Matsuo Basho Poet Matsuo Basho , ("banana plant", 1644-1694), the son of a low-ranking samurai, created the modern haiku form and is considered to be one of Japan 's greatest literary figures. "Seek not to follow in the footsteps of men of old; seek what they sought," he once said. An adherent follower of Zen Buddhism , Basho's book of his travels The Narrow Road to the Deep North (1689), captured prose and haiku. "Long conversations beside blooming irises/ joys of life on the road," he wrote. The haiku poet or "haijin" described nature and life simply, with lightness, to create profound expressive poetic form. Basho's poetry brought spirituality and richness to haiku unheard of before his time According to Japanese critic and scholar Makoto Ueda, " ideas on verse writing Basho insisted upon" were sabi ( loneliness ), shiori (pity), hosomi (slenderness), inspiration , fragrance, reverberation, reflection, and lightness. Creation of art comes from meditation and is a sacred form of expression.
