1 peopleKamisama no Jusho, Sasara Kura's first book, combines tanka with self-commentary, moving among everyday sensation, dreams, the cosmos, the body, and wordplay. Using short poems as entry points, the book opens the pathways of the author's imagination and conveys the pleasure of reading tanka through prose as well.
A debut book rich in sensation and wordplay, offering tanka as vessels for flowers the self has breathed out.
