During his lifetime, Bashō was recognized for his works in the collaborative ''[[Renku|haikai no renga]]'' form; today, after centuries of commentary, he is recognized as the greatest master of [[haiku]] (at the time called [[hokku]])
Bashō was introduced to poetry at a young age, and after integrating himself into the intellectual scene of [[Edo]] (modern Tokyo), he quickly became well-known throughout Japan. He made a living as a teacher, but renounced the social, urban life of the literary circles and was inclined to wander throughout the country, heading west, east, and far into the northern wilderness to gain inspiration for his writing. His poems were influenced by his firsthand experience of the world around him, often encapsulating the feeling of a scene in a few simple elements.
