Feng Shui is Tamiko Ohnishi's seventh tanka collection. Gathering 624 poems written between 1978 and 1981, it reconsiders the poet's place in life after parting from people close to her, while attending to small movements of feeling in daily life.

A 624-poem tanka collection that reconsiders life after loss and attends to subtle movements of feeling in everyday life.

Mukawa Chuichi's fourth tanka collection. In a low, restrained register and clear images, it addresses the landscape and life of his native Suwa, friends lost in wartime, and his present life as an intellectual in the city.

The collection includes poems recalling a snow-deep youth and poems on bouvardia offered as a funeral flower. Their natural openings turn at the final line, leaving a weight of guilt and remembrance for the dead.
