Basho writes about his visit to Matsushima in his haibun The Narrow Road to the Deep North.
Matsushima is one of the most beautiful landscape in Japan. Just imagine: hundreds of islands covered with pine trees!
Upon seeing one of the most famous views in Japan, Basho composed the following haiku:
Matsushima, ah!
Aah, Matsushima, ah!
Matsushima, ah!
— Basho
