Basho
Artist, haiku poet, traveler
The loner wandering
in search of his own ideals
Where exactly does the ideal world lie, and how can it be expressed? Basho is an elderly haiku poet cat who travels by the light of a lantern, staring at his own feet.
He traveled around Japan on foot and expressed the world he felt in haiku. He tried to find a wide range of possibilities that could extend to the universe within the short haiku In three phrases of 5, 7, and 5.
Compose haiku poems in the wind.
Compose haiku poems in the rain.
Even when Basho walks alone on the cold snowy road, the universe spreads out above his head and watches over him.
