Minomushi-an

(Bagworm Hermitage)

Minomushi-an is the only remaining hermitage of Basho's original five. Hattori Doho, one of Basho's disciples, built and presented it to Basho for his study. This building was named after the haiku which Basho gave to Doho as a present upon its completion, which is "Minomushi no ne wo kikini koyo kusa no io - Come and listen to the sound of bagworms, thatched hermitage".
