然々と: 句集 (北辰社銀漢叢書)

Ito Inao

Inao Ito's third haiku collection. Against the background of work, his bar, family, grief for his wife, and a life stretching from Shinshu to Jimbocho, it condenses daily wit and drama into haiku.

Work Information

Like a personal statement of life's accounts, the haiku illuminate one person's time.

Published by Hokushinsha as part of the Ginkan series, the book is organized by years from Heisei twenty through Heisei twenty-six. The poet's life history and the time of haiku overlap throughout. It won the Haijin Kyokai Award.

Review Summaries

  • The collection is read through its unforced self-mockery, narrative drama, and wit grounded in observation. Its skill in making language move is especially valued.
