天龍寺 details - Kyoto (via j-p-g)
“Tenryu-ji”
is the head temple of the Tenryū branch of Rinzai Zen Buddhism, located in Susukinobaba-chō, Ukyō Ward, Kyoto, Japan(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenry%C5%AB-ji)
“In the center of the temple garden there is a monument stone inscribed with a poem by Matsuo Basho (1644-1694) the great master of haiku (seventeen-syllable poem with three lines containing 5-7-5 syllables).
In 1689 the itinerant poet set out on his seventh and longest journey, during the course of which he wrote the travel diary Oku no hosomichi (The Narrow Road to Oku), nowadays considered one of the major texts of classical Japanese literature.
On this journey Basho also lodged overnight at Tenryu-ji, where he put into verse his reluctance to depart:
I scribbled something,
Planning to tear up my fan,
But parting was sad.”
