和田華凛 わだ かりん Hoshino Tatsuko Award

Karin Wada's second haiku collection. Guided by a title meaning moonlight, it traces scenes of Noh theatre, waterside places in Kyoto and Osaka, and family memory in poised traditional haiku. Its four sections gather poems written from 2013 to 2021.

From the whiteness of a Noh mask holding moonlight, landscapes of season and memory quietly unfold.
