Betuzashiki - Betuzashiki

Japanese: 別座鋪 - べつざしき

A collection of haiku poems. Compiled by Shisan. Published in 1694 (Genroku 7). 1 volume. Contains Rokuginkasen and 4 other immortal verses, over 100 hokku verses including farewell verses, and Soryu's essay "Farewell Speech to Basho," which were performed at Shisan's villa when Basho went to Kamigata in May of that year. Shisan's preface includes words by Basho advocating "lightness," and this style is also reflected in the works included in the collection. Basho's letters from Kamigata also convey the praise of his disciples there. [Ishikawa Hachiro]
