A Haiku should be a teaching moment, that is, it should make a point.
One day, when Bashō and his pupil, Takarai Kikaku (宝井其角, 1661–1707), were walking through the fields, they spotted dragonflies darting through the grass and flowers. Kikaku composed this haiku and looked to his master for approval.
Behold:
A red dragonfly!
remove its wings —
a pepper pod!
“The dragonfly is dead.” the Master replied, “Now this is how to create life?”
Red pepper pods!
Add wings,
Behold, dragonflies!
Rebirth
From this to that
And back again,
Oh, can it ever end?
— Keihatsu!
Bashō no yōna, 2021
Most translators attempting to explain the Kikaku/Basho exchange focus on Basho’s “positive” view, the red pepper becomes a dragonfly; scolding Kikaku’s “negative” view, taking life and not creating it.
We need not be one-sighted. This haiku also explains the Buddhist concept of Rebirth, 轉世.
