Artwork Description
The Artist: Matsuo Bashō
Matsuo Bashō (1644-1694) is widely recognized as one of the four great masters of haiku, alongside Kobayashi Issa, Masaoka Shiki, and Kawahigashi Hekigoto. Born in Ueno, Japan, Bashō's poetry is internationally renowned, and, in Japan, many of his poems are reproduced on monuments and traditional sites.The Painting: Record of a Haiku Exchange on Kaishi Writing Paper
This sheet of kaishi writing paper is inscribed with verse by Japan’s most famous haiku poet, Matsuo Bashō, and one of his pupils in the teacher’s own handwriting. When this work was first publically displayed at Seattle Asian Art Museum in 2015, it created a small sensation among literary specialists in Japan because not only were the Bashō poems recorded here previously unknown, the work must date to relatively early in his career as a poet, before he turned forty.Significance in Japanese Literature and Culture
Bashō's haiku is considered one of the most significant contributions to Japanese literature. His writing "The Narrow Road to the Deep North" is the most famous haiku collection in Japan. Among the haiku poems, Bashō's "old pond and frog" (Furuike ya/ Kawazu tobikomu/ Mizu no oto) is one of the most well-known and celebrated haiku in Japanese literature. The painting 'Record of a Haiku Exchange on Kaishi Writing Paper' holds great significance as it contains previously unknown Bashō poems, discovered only recently.
