鈴木誠司 すずき せいじ award

A haiku work by Seiji Suzuki. Centered on hail as a fierce seasonal image, it compresses the roughness of nature and heightened human feeling into the short fixed form.

A work that turns the hardness and sudden force of hail into haiku tension.

松林朝蒼 まつばやし ちょうそう award

A haiku work by Choso Matsubayashi. It joins the handwork of papermaking with the scene of a ravine, binding nature, labor, and stillness into haiku images.

Papermaking by hand and the cool air of a ravine create a quiet haiku landscape.
