Japan Poetry, Tanka and Haiku Grand Prize
ロンゲラップの海
The Sea of Rongelap is a poetry collection facing the memory of radiation exposure and the sea around Rongelap Atoll in the Marshall Islands. It gives language to the shadow of nuclear testing not as a distant event but as pain remaining in the sea and human bodies.
