Matsuo Bashō Haiku Analysis: Narrative Theory × C4 Model Structure Analysis
This research conducts structural analysis of Matsuo Bashō's haiku using the C4 model (Context, Containers, Components, Code) employed in system design, integrated with Yamada Yōko's narrative theory. We analyze two representative haiku: "Kitsutsuki mo an wa yarazu natsu kodachi" (木啄きも庵は破らず夏木立) and "Aki suzushi te goto ni muke ya uri nasubi" (秋涼し手毎にむけや瓜茄子). The analysis focuses on the multi-layered examination of natural coexistence, temporal continuity, and the inclusive power of natural spaces. Specifically, we elucidate the cognitive development from natural actions to structural protection and environmental integration, and the structural mechanisms of "monogatari" (narrative) created through collaborative generation between the "narrator" and "listener."
