This paragraph is about Basho was in Natadera which is in Honshu. Natadera was a quiet peaceful place, which had strange sights. There were many temples and gods. He liked taking baths in the Yamanaka hot springs. He loved writing haikus about nature.He thought Natadera was full of nature and he also thought that it was calm. We hope you will learn more about Basho.

Place means the personality of where you live or where you are. Machines, jobs, clothes, building, government and communication are connected to us in their own way. But nature is also connected to us even more. Some of these things are plants, water and rocks. The general personality of my place would be a peaceful area with a temple. My nature proof would be that there is much nature in my station. My human proof would be that there is nature around the temple and where everything in the area would probably be quiet because there was a temple near there. I think it would be hard and interesting.

Basho was a kind of man who liked calm and peaceful things in nature. He always observed and then wrote haikus about what he saw. He liked different types of art for example; he liked the carved stones in Nata. Even though Basho had stomach cancer he kept on traveling. When he was sick all he could think about was poetry .He traveled to places that other poets had visited. Basho thought that Natadera was full of nature and calm waters.
