Michael Yamashitaさんのインスタグラム写真 - (Michael YamashitaInstagram)「Matsushima, Tohohu, Japan, one of the most scenic spots in all of Japan. Matsushima is an archipelago of 260 tiny islands (shima) covered in pine (matsu), hence the name Matsushima. For centuries, poets have praised the beauty of Matsushima's sweeping bay, the islands dotted with pine trees, and the mountains rising majestically in the background. Japan’s most famous poet, the 17th-century haiku master Matsuo Basho, was one of those captivated by these islands. It is said that he once won a grand poetry contest by describing this evocative place in only three short lines, each capped with an exclamation point of awe: O Matsushima! O Matsushima! O Matsushima! #matsushima #miyagi #tohoku #basho #haiku #shima #pineisland」11月23日 11時05分
