1 peopleA haiku sequence by Toshiko Ouchi that won the Kadokawa Haiku Prize. It was recognized as an unpublished fifty-haiku sequence, and its title suggests illness and psychic disturbance while compressing tension beneath everyday life.
Behind the quiet surface of the poems lies a tension in which the boundary of mind and body seems to waver.
