Blue sky stretches wide and bright,
Below, Kesennuma’s sea’s deep, clear light,
Oysters rest in tranquil rows,
A peaceful scene, beauty flows.

Even from the bridge, the sea’s clarity and depth were remarkable. The rows of oyster beds, a signature sight of Kesennuma Oshima known for its oysters, added a serene touch to the view.
