Bufukei is a poetry collection by Kyoko Shibata published by Shichosha. Centered on the long poem 'Bufukei' and including works such as 'Maboroshi no Ko,' it crystallizes language formed through life in Toyama and journeys to Chiba, where the poet's mother lived.

Review Summaries

  • Readers find the density of a book that gathers a long span of time around the mother striking. Though it begins in personal memory, it prompts reflection on parent-child distance and aging.
