The aesthetic concept of Basho's haiku. A type of beauty related to "sabi." Basho and his disciples wrote it as "shihori." A verse that embodies "sadness" as a "figure" without using emotional words such as "sadness," and in which one can sense "sadness" as an aftertaste, can be said to have "shihori." This can also be seen from Kyorai's comment on Kyoroku's poem "Omeiko ya yonaka no bukkake ni nun" ("The new nun with a green head and a lecture on life"), "If the seven middle characters were changed, it would be a poem that could also express pathos. (Omitted) I do not mean to ask that the words and meaning of the poem be made compassionate. I said that I wanted to express the depth of that poem." (Letter to Kyoroku dated January 29, 1685) Basho is said to have commented on Kyoroku's poem "Ten rice dumplings turn into tiny grains in the autumn wind" by saying, "There is depth to this poem" (Kyoroku Sho).

Japanese:

芭蕉(ばしょう)俳諧(はいかい)の美的理念。「さび」の類縁美の一つ。芭蕉、および芭蕉の弟子たちは、「しほり」と表記した。「あはれ」が、「あはれ」などの感情表現語を用いずに「姿」として一句に具象され、そこに余情として「あはれ」を感得できるような句が、「しほり」のある句といえる。去来が、許六(きょりく)の「御命講(おめいこ)やあたまの青き新比丘尼(びくに)」の句に対して、「中の七字かはり候はば、あはれなる方も出来(いでく)べき御句也(なり)。(中略)一句の言葉、趣向を憐(あはれ)に被成(なされ)候へと申にては無之(これなく)候。其(その)一句のしほりの出来るやうにと、申たるにて候」(元禄(げんろく)8年正月29日付許六宛書簡)と述べていることによっても、そのことがうかがえる。芭蕉は、許六の「十団子(とをだご)も小粒になりぬ秋の風」の句を、「此(この)句しほりあり」(『去来抄』)と評したという。
