Hoshino Tatsuko Award - Main Prize
句集 夜の森 角川21世紀俳句叢書
"Yoru no Mori" is Komagikone Junko's second haiku collection, gathering 478 poems written through 2016. It turns intimate and painful experiences, including her father's death, the Great East Japan Earthquake and the Fukushima nuclear disaster, and caring for her mother, into a source of living energy rather than enclosing them in grief.
Work Information
A haiku collection that crystallizes post-disaster daily life and familial attentiveness into quiet, resilient poems.
Published as part of the Kadokawa 21st Century Haiku Series, this collection links its title, Yoru no Mori, with the Fukushima place name of the same sound. It compresses post-disaster loss, family memory, and the time of caregiving into the brief form of haiku. The Kadokawa Culture Promotion Foundation confirms ISBN 9784048764117 and 220 pages; for the Japanese print edition, the Amazon Japan ASIN is completed from the ISBN-10.
Review Summaries
-
The collection is presented as one that transforms personal sorrow and hardship into haiku and makes the form's possibilities palpable. The award statement also shows how post-disaster daily life and family memory provide the work's deep motive.
