The poems shift their footing toward loneliness and change how the world appears.

Kojima Yukari’s fourteenth tanka collection, gathering poems from 2015 to 2018. With a title derived from an old name for carp, it receives nature, aging, family, and social tremors in language like a quiet water surface.

It opens a tanka surface where nature, society, and private circumstance meet.
