The CEO of IOG, Charles Hoskinson, shared a celebratory tweet on Twitter and posted a haiku poem, the composer of which is the most famous poet of the Japanese Edo period, Matsuo Basho. He congratulated the whole community behind Cardano and made an announcement that Cardano (ADA), is about to get launched in Japan in ten minutes and he has waited a notably long time for this day to come.

However, the poem that was chosen to be put in the post is just not there as a general post, and the choice of putting that poem there is surely not any kind of coincidence. The poem was:
<blockquote>"A monk sips morning tea, 

it’s quiet,

the chrysanthemum’s flowering."</blockquote>
Along with this, it should be noted that as soon as Cardano is done with its Goguen Era, which Cardano (ADA) is currently in, it will <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/iohk-announces-alonzo-white-update-cardano-steps-closer-to-smart-contracts/">enter</a> the Basho Era.
<h2>Beginning of the Basho Era</h2>
With the launch of smart contracts on <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/cardano-nears-smart-contracts-with-alonzo-purple-launch/">September 12</a> on the Cardano blockchain, the proof-of-stake blockchain era will begin and it will be improving the scalability and interoperability of the blockchain.

The Alonzo upgrade is much awaited for the Cardano blockchain as it will be implementing a lot of alterations in the network of Cardano. 

Back in the month of July of the year 2019, the Bitpoint exchange based in Tokyo, Japan, was all over there in headlines, following its temporary suspension of the services, that it provides due to a $32 million hack.
