四時抄: 句集 (花神俳人選)

Kimio Yamagami

Shijisho is the fifth haiku collection by Jumio Yamaue. Rooted in the lineage of Shuoshi Mizuhara and Sodo Yamaguchi, it turns seasonal change and the passage of aging into haiku marked by clarity, lightness, and shadow.

Work Information

A haiku collection where a longing for life and a quiet shadow breathe beneath transparent seasonal words.

Published by Kajinsha in the Kajin Haijin Selection series, this collection was later included as the fifth book in Yamaue's collected haiku. It shows the maturity of his work: fresh perception, inner shadow, and flexible lightness.

Review Summaries

  • Readers are drawn to how a single haiku can reveal a figure and a wavering state of mind. Even in its light movement of words, sensuousness and loneliness coexist.
