Izumosaki is a small town (population around 6,000) located on the Japan Sea coast. It is famous among haiku enthusiasts as the birth place of the 18th century poet-monk Ryōkan (良寛), and there is small memorial in his honor located in the town.
A famous poem by Ryōkan reads:
世の中は
何にたとへん
山彦の
こたふる聲の
空しきがごと -
Life in this world, to what can it be compared? An echo in the mountains reverberating through an empty sky.
