Kamui is Michiko Kai's third haiku collection. Written after a long interval, her mother's death, and the Great East Japan Earthquake, it layers nature, place, memory, and loss to capture large presences within ordinary life.

A collection in which time marked by disaster and loss is joined again to the presences of nature and the language of daily life.

Ginza no Hohaba is a haiku collection by Kazue Suga. In the brief breath of haiku, it captures urban brightness and the pace of everyday walkers, drawing the memory, change, and human presence of Ginza with fine attention.

From the rhythm of a body walking through Ginza, the city's memories and seasonal presences begin to rise.
