カムイ
Kamui is Michiko Kai's third haiku collection. Written after a long interval, her mother's death, and the Great East Japan Earthquake, it layers nature, place, memory, and loss to capture large presences within ordinary life.
Work Information
A collection in which time marked by disaster and loss is joined again to the presences of nature and the language of daily life.
Published by Furansudo, this hardcover third collection runs 180 pages and won the 57th Haijin Kyokai Award. The loss and post-disaster time described in the author's note connect personal history with the texture of an era through images such as the sea, craters, night sky, and relics.
Review Summaries
-
The collection has been received as a mature work, with critical attention from haiku circles. Its strength lies in the crossing of classical seasonal sensibility with contemporary unease, leaving a deep aftertaste beneath restrained language.
