Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have studied how Basho’s “Karumi” (lightness; his poetic ideal) has been succeeded and propagated from his death to his 50th anniversary. By making commentaries of renku (linked verse) in Shiko(Basho’s disciple) ’s works, Iseshinhyakuin , Hyakudarani ,and Setsubunsyu , We concluded that Basho’s “Karumi” was passed down the later generations with transformation. We investigated Haiku prose in the later Hoei period and made lists of the authors and entries of all books. In so doing, We delved into the literary position of each book and published the result as an article “ Hoeisyoutokuhaijintaikan.”
