Karigane-ten no Aru Fukei received the Chunichi Poetry Award. Its title suggests attention to the texture of kana marks and landscape, placing the collection around fine details of language and the margins of memory.

A faint mark in writing and the memory of landscape quietly overlap.

Tabi o Hito no Shikai e received the newcomer prize of the Chunichi Poetry Award. It treats travel not merely as personal movement but as an experience of entering another person's field of vision, using poetic language to explore the distance between seeing and being seen.

Travel is not only movement into unfamiliar places but also into another person's field of vision.
