Fukiko Yasunaga あんえい ふうこ award

Fuyuurara is Fumiko Yasunaga's tenth tanka collection. Its language draws on waterside scenes, travel, and the sensibility of calligraphy, showing a lucid tension in her later poetic world.

Lakeside light and the resonance of Chinese-derived diction turn solitude into a poised tanka voice.
