- Title
PAULO LEMINSKI, DISCÍPULO DE BASHÔ.
- Authors
Brasil de Sá, Michele Eduarda
- Abstract
This article presents a reading of Bashō's biography written by Brazilian poet Paulo Leminski (published with the title "The Tear of the Fish" in 1983 by Brasiliense Publishing House, republished in 1990 by Sulina Publishing House in the volume entitled Life, and then in 2013 by Companhia das Letras). This reading interprets that, through the establishment of a kōan ("zen enigma", in general lines), the author makes an immersion in Japanese culture, more precisely in the culture of the Edo period. At first, information about Bashô and his samurai formation will be presented, as well as Zen Buddhism, and haikai as a flourishing genre. Soon after, we will analyze what is Zen in Leminski's text and the dō("path", "technique") whose creation he attributes to Matsuo Bashō: the haiku-dō.
