A quiet memoir of the days spent beside writer Kunio Ogawa from his wife’s perspective. Creation, daily life, care, and memory intersect to portray a literary figure’s later years as intimate time.

It quietly illuminates the life and farewell beside a writer, like a silver moon.

Poet Kazuhiro Nagata records the illness and final years of his wife, tanka poet Yuko Kawano. Poems, family, and caregiving overlap, and the book frankly depicts suffering that love alone cannot easily bear.

A ten-year record of a wife who kept writing poems and the husband beside her.
