Özet
In a frequently quoted statement in Knapsack Notebook, Matsuo Bash & omacr; says that one should follow z & omacr;ka, return to z & omacr;ka. In different translations of Bash & omacr;'s travel writings, the word z & omacr;ka has been rendered into Turkish as do & gbreve;a [nature]. When considered alongside Bash & omacr;'s poetry and travel writings, this statement can be interpreted as an expression of Bash & omacr;'s attachment to nature and appreciation of its beauty. Several commentators, however, argue that translating z & omacr;ka as nature is not only misleading but also that interpreting Bash & omacr; as a nature poet is inaccurate. By analysing the divergences between z & omacr;ka and nature, this article aims to examine the relevant parts of Bash & omacr;'s travel writings with respect to the aesthetics of nature. An investigation of z & omacr;ka's meaning in the context of Chinese and Japanese traditions of thought reveals that z & omacr;ka essentially signifies spontaneous emergence, change, and transformation. In z & omacr;ka's dynamic operation, not only the past and the present but also time and space merge into each other. Moreover, z & omacr;ka is associated with nothingness, or emptiness, rather than being. It is conceived as inseparable from the human heart or mind. Through this analysis, the article contends that in Bash & omacr;, z & omacr;ka's beauty involves but goes beyond natural beauty.
