Work Information
From the whiteness of a Noh mask holding moonlight, landscapes of season and memory quietly unfold.
Moonlight is the second haiku collection by Karin Wada, who leads the haiku journal Fuei. Under a title that means moonlight, it evokes Noh theatre, festivals, cities shaped by rivers and sea, and an inherited lineage of haiku through the sensations of the seasons. It received the 11th Tatsuko Hoshino Award in 2023.
Review Summaries
-
The title poem is read as expressing how the poet looks up at the moon to transform hardship and find a way forward. Its joining of a Noh mask's whiteness with moonlight reveals the quiet contemplation that runs through the collection.

●第二句集 能面の月華を宿す白さかな 表題『月華』は月の光、月光のこと。 諷詠四代の主宰がそれぞれ「瀧の夜半」「花の比奈夫」「祭の立夫」「月の華凜」と呼ばれていることもあり、この題を選んだ。(著者) ●自選一五句 結界の黄泉比良坂より時雨 光る音して薄氷の溶けにけり 海底に沈む都の上に月 胡弓の音風に揺るがず風の盆 能面の月華を宿す白さかな 父の座は空席のまま花筵 夜を待つやうに置きある蛍籠 花八手島の鬼門はこのあたり 水都けふ月の都となりしかな 役者絵は写楽がよろし梅二月 瀧の上に天へと続く道のあり しづしづと月下にシテの歩みかな 猪鍋や丹波訛の虚子贔屓 流し雛見送る空に昼の月 こいさんの扇子いとはんより小さし
