This original version of "Mountain Died Quietly” was submitted as part of Naviar Haiku 624: A Quiet Cabin. A quiet cabin; hunting milkcaps, I was soon lost among the pines by: Kagami Shikō Kagami Shikō was a Japanese poet, considered one of the ten outstanding disciples (Shōmon jittetsu 蕉門十哲) of Matsuo Bashō. He was in turn the master of the famous poetess Fukuda Chiyo-ni. Originally from the present-day Gifu Prefecture, Kagami Shikō became a monk at Daichi-ji Temple, and in 1690 he became a pupil of Bashō, later accompanying him on some of his journeys and recording his last will in 1694. After Basho's death, he kept travelling around Japan, writing several essays on haiku and collections of writings until his death in 1731.
