Anything else you wanted to know?

The name? Ah yes! Where did the name Basho come from?

Matsuo Bashō (Japanese: 松尾芭蕉, Matsuo Bashō, 164428 November 1694) was the haigo (haikai pen name) of a Japanese poet of the Edo period. He is widely credited with raising the hokku form that would later be revised as haiku to its highest level, although in his lifetime, Bashō was renowned as a poet of haikai no renga (semi-comic linked verse usually created with a group of poets).

So there.
