Basho said that "Chinkonnohen"is a seed of haiku
What does mean" kennkonnohen"It means variation in the universe.
For example,there are coming birds, blooming blossoms, birth anddeath of human beings, feeling and thinking comes and goes in ourminds.
All of them are " kennkonnohen"our mind moves according to changes of the universe.
It is colled "MU"in Buddhism.By Dr Oomine ( leader of Shinn Haiku assosiation)
Atsushi Azumi was leader Syuntou haiku association after MantarouKubota.( He is my Haiku master Shu Mayuzumi`s teacher)
he said that
Haiku is concerned with nature and humans
Look at a picture by Maurice Utrillo
There are no people in his picturethere are only dusty road tree,
smeared white wall, remote road and ashuttered house ,
empty church in his paintings.
I noticed something else.
there are no people outside,
but there arepeople inside the houses.
a mothere and her child talking,
wife and her husband hear a warmfireplace.
A priest must be reading Bible.
Thinking so when we look at his picture.
A good old memory will rushinto our mind,
it is seeds of haiku
Dr Omine taught that haiku is universe
Atsushi Azumi taught that the most important is human in haiku
Borth are my masters
I study HAIKU road
