Sōin(1602-82) Concept of Metaphor (gūgen)
Bringing together two different categories Theory of substance (jitsu) and essence
(kyo) in poetry Later developed by Bashō

Matsuo Bashō (1644-94) At age 9, he entered into the service of
the Todo family, as a page Yoshitada, the young heir
study-mate who took more to the acquisition of literary accomplishments than to the practice of military arts.
-Kigin (1624-1705)- taught Bashō and Yoshitada the art of linked verse

Bashō lifted haiku into a perfect realm: poetry that embodied in itself the seriousness and elegance of Sōgi and the freedom of energy of Sōin
