Hiromu Matsuda まつだ ひろむ award

Futo is a linked sequence of haiku by Hiromu Matsuda, expressing a modern haiku sensibility through the feeling of standing at the edge of the city and the harbor. Against a background of labor, movement, and seaside air, it compresses socially charged landscapes into a brief poetic form.

From a viewpoint at the edge of the harbor, the sequence condenses the city, labor, and the sea into haiku.
