During his stay at the Gourd Bamboo Hermitage, Matsuo Basho wrote the following hokku:




花を宿に始め終りや二十日ほど
花をやどにはじめをはりやはつかほど
hana no yado ni hajime owari ya hatsuka hodo

at this lodging with cherry blossoms
from beginning to end -
about twenty days


Basho enjoyed his time there just as long as the cherry blossoms were in full bloom.

Written in the spring of 1688 元禄元年春.

このほどを花に礼いふ別れ哉
kono hodo o hana ni rei iu wakare kana

how much do I say
thank you for the blossoms
at this departure . . .

このほどを花に礼いふ別れ哉
kono hodo o hana ni rei iu wakare kana

how much do I say
"thank you" to the blossoms
at this departure . . .



Written on the 19th day of the third lunar month in 1688 元禄元年3月19日.
This is a Thank You Note to his host Taiso, before leaving.
