"Towards the end of his life, Basho reached a maturity in his haiku style. His mature style, or shofu, is characterized by: karumi, or lightness, an expression of nonattachment born of the acceptance of life on life’s terms; sabi, a poignant sense of life’s brevity and beauty coupled with nostalgia; and wabi, the elegance of austere simplicity and solitude." - CarrieAnn Thunell

On a journey,
Resting beneath the cherry blossoms,
I feel myself to be in a Noh play.
