I believe I have seen this haiku from Issa before somewhere, maybe from one of your previous blogs. But I never thought it could be read like: Chrysanthemum is just the crest of imperial house. Issa was trying to express his disapproval at the shogunate! If so, this haiku becomes so meaningful and intriguing which I would love so much!
Oh, I posted another comment on your blog: Today in Japan Sep 11 ~ More Drama From the Shogunate!
I wish I could get the accurate answer from you!

Thank you for your upvoting my comment so much, dear @bdvoter! It is such a big suprise to me to get 1.34 dollar from you. I'm only rather curious which words of my comment have touched you. Or is it due to my video link about Amway China and American President Bush？Who says that China and US are not on the good times？Just see the invisibly intimate and sweet relationship between China and US through the great Amway company which is esoteric!
