Far into the Distance is a sequence of thirty haiku by Megumi Shimanuki. Through familiar images such as Yanaka slopes, a clay figurine, a music box, and a mother's veins, it quietly traces distance across the city, memory, and the changing seasons.
On a moonlit spring night, how many slopes lead through Yanaka?
