It is so interesting for me to know that Bashō's previous pen name is Green Peach. Yeah, apparently it really contrasts with Plum White.
However, for Chinese people, 李白/Li Bai only means that the poet's surname is 李/Li and his first name is 白/bai.

李/Li is the most popular surname in China, being called together with 王/Wang, 张/Zhang and 刘/Liu as the China's four biggest family names.

Here I have a question about Issa's Haiku. How should I understand "my journey's lice"?My journey is full of lice?

Thank you for sharing the great story and Haiku about "Bashō Memorial Day" so much.
