Tsuboya no Uta is the haiku sequence by Kyoko Henmi that received the fifteenth Kadokawa Haiku Prize. Its title evokes Okinawa's pottery district, and the work compresses a sense of place, the texture of vessels, and traces of everyday life into the brief breath of haiku.

A prize-winning sequence that lets the memory of vessels and place resonate in haiku's open space.
