芭蕉翁绘词传

　多贺城碑前的芭蕉与曾良　《芭蕉翁绘词传》蝶梦著、狩野正荣原画

元禄二年（1689年），芭蕉与曾良在“奥之细道”的旅途中拜访了多贺城碑。
今天，芭蕉将这块被称为多贺城碑的古碑误认为是歌枕中的“壶之碑”，不禁感动落泪。
　
这是江户中期俳人蝶梦为纪念芭蕉逝世100周年而编纂的芭蕉生平传记。蝶梦是京都人，是净土宗的僧侣。他出生时芭蕉逝世已近40年，因此从未见过芭蕉，但他每年在芭蕉墓所在的义仲寺举办芭蕉忌，并周游各地，致力于显彰（赞扬并弘扬其功绩）芭蕉。
这份资料是出版物，其原版绘卷物收藏在义仲寺。


Basho-o ekotoba den (The Life of the Venerable Basho in Pictures and Words), 1 volume
Chomu, author

In this work, the mid-Edo-period haiku poet Chomu, a priest of the Jodo-shu Buddhist sect who hailed from Kyoto, depicts Basho’s life story to commemorate the 100th anniversary of his death. Born nearly 40 years after Basho’s death, Chomu never met the haiku master in person, but he conducted yearly memorial rites for Basho at Gichuji Temple, where Basho’s grave is located, and he traveled throughout the provinces to publicly honor Basho and promote recognition of his achievements.

The published work shown here was based upon an emakimono (picture scroll) which can be found at Gichuji Temple.
