The 100+ Basho haiku mentioning "moon" involve only 376 kanji - and only 45 of those are not in top 3k+ so some reading can be done with a command of only about 500 kanji — if the compound kanji words formed with some of those 376 are not too obscure or place names ( checked using the Wakan clipboard tool and one of my Basho CURL web pages which also give the poems in hiragana and romaji text. )
The first 8 of the haiku on the "moon" page at kanji.aule-browser.com involve 36 kanji of which only 1 is not "common" in Japanese newspapers : "snoring" !
