RAKUSHISHA HUT

松尾芭蕉の門下で蕉門十哲に数えられる江戸時代の俳人、向井去来が閑居した草庵跡で明治に再興されたもの。芭蕉が１７日間滞在し、「嵯峨日記」を記した場所としても知られている。質素なたたずまいはいかにも俳人の住まいらしく、壁には笠と蓑がいっそう趣を添えている。「何事ぞ　花見る人の　長刀」が特に有名。

This was the hut of poet Kyorai Mukai early in the Edo period, and was rebuilt by poet Shigeatsu Inoue during the Meiji period.It's roof was made of straw.Rakushisha Iiterally means "the house of the fallen persimmons." The story is that one day the resident of the house decided to sell the ripe persimmons on the tree, but found that they had been blown to the ground by a strong wind during the night. The great poet, Matsuo Basho, visited the hut in 1689. There is a monument to Kyorai's poetry in the garden, and Kyorai's simple grave is in the backyard.
