| Station 25 - Obanazawa Discussion (1966 words) |
 | In the 1570s Obanazawa became the fief of Obanazawa Fujizaemon who was a vassal of Tendo Yorihisa. |
| Nevertheless, Obanazawa was a center for the production of Benihana and Seifu's home was a large trading place for Benihana, so even if the poem was composed later, it still captures and conveys the sense of Seifu's home. |
| Since Basho was in Obanazawa for ten days beginning 5.17 (7.3), there is no way this poem could represent spring, so we should probably consider these to be summer silkworms. |
