‘Gathering early summer rains / Even more rapid / The Mogami River’
by Basho
Basho traveled to Tohoku district during the Edo period and left many famous haiku poems. One of them is the Mogami River.
The seasons were different, but the flow was not as intense as I expected.
Time seems to have stopped and the area is quiet. I can only hear the sound of pointing the boat’s rod to the river. A stream of water falls from the cliff and the boat song of the boatman is sucked into the mountains. On the way you can see the ruins of Oshin’s outdoor studio. I fell asleep on the way.
The following is a boat landing. One-way, two-way, etc. you can chose according to your schedule.
