"Hakuya Matsuo Momo Aojuku Spring (Hokkamatsu Otosei Yado no Haru)"

At the beginning of the year, if you compare it to Kasen (so-called consecutive phrase), you say (first phrase).

Spring has come to my Soan now. This New Year can be called the phrase of my life in haikai.

It is said that he wrote the spirit of Yingchun with high praise.

At the same time, it is said to be a phrase of self-establishment. A phrase that reveals the determination of young man Basho to start his life.

According to the explanation board ...

Matsuo Basho came to Edo in 1672 (Kanbun 12) at the age of 29 from his hometown of Iga Ueno.

And since then, in 1680 (Yonho 8 years), he seems to have lived here around Nihonbashi Funasa for eight years until the age of 37.

This area is now Nihonbashi Muromachi 1-chome, but at that time it was called Odawara-cho.

Here is a mansion of village headman called Taro Ozawa, and Basho lived in the rented house.

Taro Ozawa was also a haiku poet, the haiku title "Bokuseki Ozawa".

He is said to be the master of Basho.

However, when I came to Nihonbashi, Basho called Matsuo Momoo.

This phrase was written as peach blue during the New Year of 1679.

In 1680, he suddenly stopped the Sosho family business, left Nihonbashi, and retired to Fukagawa. I don't know what happened.

It was still after that to claim Basho and go on a journey of "Nozarashi Journey" or "narrow road to the interior". ・・・
