佐藤凍虹 さとう とうこう award

A haiku collection by Onifusa Sato. His poems carry the climate of Tohoku, labor, and the shadows after war, rising in language that combines roughness with lyric force.

Bearing Tohoku soil and memory, the haiku leave a dense tactile sense of life.

鈴木節子 すずき せつこ award

A haiku collection by Setsuko Suzuki. Under a title that evokes summer seashores, it appears to condense seasonal touch, shadows of daily life, and a woman’s bodily sensibility into brief haiku form.

A haiku collection that draws summer light and the presence of the sea from within everyday life.
