One thought on “”

  1. master basho would have been disappointed by disciple yotsuya’s interpretation

    it seems yotsuya took certain freedoms and liberties

    first line: made me suspicious
    what’s luck got to do with it

    frankensteinian surgery is the outcome of basho’s work, through his trying to emphasize nature’s power in comparison to man’s being tiny in the scheme of things in the universe(nature).

    basho’s work is filled with caricatures, nonsense, confusion, love, and etc

    i sometimes say, there is order even in “random disorder”.

    even being paradoxical isn’t seen here, perhaps a bakery nearby

    thinking of other pieces by basho:

    the wind from mt fuji
    i put it on the fan
    here, the souvenir from edo

    or

    an autumn wind(actually “a”, ha, one of my remakes)
    more white
    than the rocks in the rocky mountain

    or

    from all directions
    winds bring petals of cherry
    into the grebe lake

    diverse, huh, but two trains of thoughts
    present
    no luck was needed
