Who is Basho?
Is there a story behind him?
RAVVIT x
The questions is not who is Basho but who is RAWIT?
Basho is the acknowledged master of Japanese Haiku poetry and this is one of his best known.
A Haiku is a 17 syllable poem which seeks to convey through words a glimpse of ultimate reality. It often does this by means of a surprise ending such as the PLOP! in the frog poem.
Here's another:
Summer grasses.
All that remains
Of soldiers' dreams.
Ravvit is the sound a frog makes when it talks.
Plop!
