Well, I'm so tired of crying but I'm out on the road again
I'm on the road again
Well, I'm so tired of crying but I'm out on the road again
I'm on the road again

Another year gone –
hat in my hand,
sandals on my feet.

- Matsuo Basho (trans. Robert Hass)

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line

New Year's Eve : a border passes by

As observed by Kobayashi Issa (1763-1827)

New Year’s morning :
the ducks on the pond
quack and quack.

As observed by Matsuo Basho (1644-1694)

Year after year
on the monkey’s face
a monkey’s face.

Below, a haiga (haiku and image) by Basho. The drawing depicts a New Year's Eve home altar offering of Kagami mochi which is traditionally broken and eaten in a ritual called kagami biraki (mirror opening).

collection FIAPCE

We don't have a translation of the above Basho haiku, but here's a thematic contender, translated by Jane Reichhold :

ariake mo
misoka ni chikashi
mochi no oto

dawn moon
close to the end of the year
pounding rice

... and as translated for NYE by TAR :

Chop wood, carry lines

This scroll about a woman carrying firewood and flowers is by the Zen nun Otagaki Rengetsu aka Lotus Moon, renowned in her own time (1791-1875) as now for her poetry, calligraphy and pottery.

collection FIAPCE

Rengetsu hand-formed her own pottery and painted her own scroll imagery. She also often combined her inscriptions with the work of other potters and painters. The signature and seal on this scroll's image are by another artist.

Her haiku here appears close to that on a similar scroll dated 1867 :

The tips of firewood
she breaks off and bundles
are also flowery—
the spring wind
of Mount Oohara.

Born around this time, the Irish poet WB Yeats (1865-1939) would later write :

ALL the words that I gather,
And all the words that I write,
Must spread out their wings untiring,
And never rest in their flight,
Till they come where your sad, sad heart is,
And sing to you in the night,
Beyond where the waters are moving,
Storm-darken'd or starry bright.

Fool Moon

this night's full moon
Hakuin's little bird
on one branch

...I’ve appended in my teaching notes a comment by Chuang-tzu: “Even in the densest wood, the wren is content with one branch.” Isn’t that wonderful?!

Tethers of TAR

The smart little monk’s reputation reached the ears of Shogun Yoshimitsu (1358-1408), and Ikkyū was summoned to the castle for a meeting.

"I’ve heard that you are quite bright,” the shogun said to Ikkyū. "Do you think you can catch a tiger?"

"Yes, my lord, I believe I can,” Ikkyū replied with great confidence. "Here is a rope. Catch that one," the shogun challenged, pointing to a tiger painted on a large screen in the room.

Without hesitation, Ikkyū placed himself in front of the screen, readied the rope, and shouted, "Now, my lord, please drive the tiger out!”
