Tomoya Tokita ときた ともや award

“After Sorrow” is a haiku work in which Tomoya Tobita receives the emotional tremors left after loss or sadness in the short breath of haiku. As the title suggests, it looks not at grief itself but at the quiet and faint recovery that follows.

It watches the quiet left after sorrow through the brief form of haiku.
