Haru no Byoreki is a poetry collection by Kaichi Nakano that portrays postwar bodily feeling and mental instability through the brightness of spring and the shadow of illness. The clinical resonance of its title keeps lyricism from being confined to private sentiment, viewing it instead as a wound marked by its time.

A sharp postwar lyricism in which spring brightness meets the shadow of illness.

Toshiro Kawai's "Flying Fish" is a poetry collection recognized in the postwar poetry world. With the light image of a fish flying above the sea in its title, it appears to render in poetic language a momentary release from the weight of reality, the movement of light and water, and the leap of life.

This poetry collection layers the light and anxiety of postwar poetry over the image of flying fish leaping above the sea.
