Add article description

The 1804 Kisakata earthquake (Japanese: 象潟地震) struck Dewa Province, Japan on July 10, 1804 with a magnitude of 7.0.[2][3][4] The earthquake killed approximately 300–500 people.[1][5] Nearby Mount Chokai erupted at about the same time as the earthquake.[6] Lake Kisakata was uplifted by the earthquake, so Kisakata, featured in Bashō's Oku no Hosomichi, became new land and a swamp.[2][4][7] A 1 m (3 ft 3 in) tsunami flooded 300 homes in Kisakata and Sakata.[8]
