3 peopleKyuurigusa is Takako Hanayama's eighth tanka collection. It catches plants, birds, and shifts in everyday atmosphere with fine-grained attention, bringing fragments of contemporary daily life into sharp relief.
A tanka collection in which flowers, weeds, and the edges of daily life reveal the texture of contemporary living.
Zaga Ruten is Shigeko Kobiyama's seventh haiku collection. Following Ryusui, it gathers poems from 2005 through mid-2011, capturing small movements in nature and the flow of time through compressed haiku language.
From six and a half years of haiku, clouds, snow, and the wrinkles of walnuts are shaped into a quiet current of time.
Shizuka ni, Kowareteiru Niwa is Takako Misaki's fourth poetry collection. It follows places, voices, and bodily sensations that remain even after damage, quietly sounding the weight of small existences.
A low, persistent voice holds to the feeling that, even if broken, this remains our place.
