"In late fall of 1694, when Basho was fifty-one, he wrote in his journal, 'Since yesterday the shigure rain has been falling, chot chot.' The following day he opened a haiku session with this poem:
Aki mo haya paratsuku ame no tsuki no nari
Fall now
moonshape reflected in
raindrops."
page 220, Liza Dalby, "november 6 through 10" "water begins to freeze"
