His recognized achievement was to bring the haiku form to its peak, but in his day, Basho was known as a poet of haiku, a semi-comedic linked poem written by a group of poets. (In the 19th century, the opening stanza of the haiku (called Wakage) developed into a separate poem called haiku.) The Meiji-era poet Masaoka Zigui first called it a haiku). Basho Matsuo (1644-1694) was a famous haiku in Japan, known as the "haiku saint", which shows his status in the history of Japanese literature. In his creations, there are nine haiku that chant the "famous moon". (If you add haiku that chants "Yuejian", "Three Sundays Moon" and "Moon" alone, there are as many as fifty-nine.)
