Haikus.
Bassho invented the haiku forms as we have them today, but what he invented that truly impacted us is the HAIBUN: a combination of haiku poetry and descriptive prose.
Bassho created the haiku structure to fit smoothly with his narrative, but others also contributed haiku to Bassho's notebooks.

Good question. Zen Buddhism is the meditation school (variety) of Buddhism. Anyone who engages in zazen and the other practices of Zen Buddhism may be considered a Zen Buddhist. This, though, is misleading because, according to The Buddha, there is no such thing as a separate self; an human individual person is really a congeries of qualities. Strictly speaking, therefore, there is no one to be a Zen Buddhist! .
There is no "Zen Buddha" there is "Zen Buddhism". Zen Buddhism is a school of Buddhist thought centered on meditation and the instantaneous awareness of the whole in any situation.
