Leaving Mount Haguro on the following day, I came to the castle town called Tsuru-ga-oka, where I was received warmly by Nagayama Shigeyuki, a warrior, and composed a book of linked verse with him and Zushi Sakichi who had accompanied me all the way from Mount Haguro. Bidding them farewell, I again descended the River Mogami in a boat and arrived at the port of Sakata, where I was entertained by the physician named En'an Fugyoku.
I enjoyed the evening cool
Along the windy beach of Fukuura,
Behind me, Mount Atsumi
Still in the hot sun.
The River Mogami has drowned
Far and deep
Beneath its surging waves
The flaming sun of summer.
Tr. by Nobuyuki Yuasa

羽黒を立て、鶴が岡の城下、長山氏重行と云物のふの家にむかへられて、誹諧一巻有。左吉も共に送りぬ。川舟に乗て酒田の湊に下る。淵庵不玉と云医師の許を宿とす。

Atsumi Onsen 温海温泉 - あつみ温泉 Atsumi Hot Spring
quote
With its history of more than 1000 years, this old hot spring is located along Atsumi river.
Hotels are staning along the river at the foot of Mount Atsumi which is about 2km ascended from the mouth of Atsumi river. The origin of discovery has several theories. Some says a child appeared in Kobo Daishi's dream and gave him a wise remark.
The others say a woodman found a wounded crane bathing its leg into the spring water.

暑き日を海にいれたり最上川

thrusting the hot sun
into the sea:
Mogami River

Pouring the hot day

Mogami River

- - - - - The original version of the MOGAMIGAWA poem, praising the view from the house of his host, the rich merchant Terajima Hikosuke 寺島彦助:
涼しさや 海にいれたる 最上川
suzushisa ya umi ni iretaru Mogamigawa
Coolness–
pouring into the sea–
Mogami River
Tr. Shirane
"Instead of the river pouring into the sea, the Mogami River pours the atsuki hi, which dan be read either as "hot sun" or "hot day", suggesting both a setting sun washed by the waves at sea and a hot summer's day coming to a dramatic close in the sea.
Basho drops the word "coolness" (suzushisa) and the constraints of the poetic greeting to a more dramatic image, one that suggests coolness without using the word."

The human doll is ready to throw a ring on the stand before it. He is figured after a well-loved manga figure before the war, called nonki na toosan のんきな父さん a carefree father. The figure is about 37 cm high.
