«The best example of good continuity of tone and style are the first half dozen short films. Norstein's film depicts, with humour, an encounter between Chikusai and Basho. Norstein picks up on the seasonal reference to late autumn and ends his film with Basho starting his journey by walking into the wind, holding onto his straw hat to keep it from being blown away. Kawamoto picks up where Norstein left off with windy, autumnal imagery and Basho arriving in his straw hat to a meeting of his fellow poets. Kawamoto adds a shower of pink heart-shaped sasanqua petals (an evergreen flowering shrub native to southern Japan and common in Japanese gardens), the key image of the second stanza of the poem. In the third film, Fumio Ooi references the traveler in the straw hat and the sasanqua petals falling like snow from the sky, and adds the sake brewery of the third stanza. The fourth film opens with an abrupt shift to a modern image but soon Tatsutoshi Nomura reveals that the truck outside the sake brewery is an allusion to horse power and the fiery image of the horse is picked up in the following film by Shinichi Suzuki who also uses modern images in combination with traditional images.»
