Work Information

Rooted in Yamato, the collection turns the force of mountains and rivers into the breath of haiku.

Published by Furansudo, this seventh collection treats Yamato as the poet’s spiritual home and centers on poems born from daily life after moving there. Intimacy with place and large-scale lyric force coexist throughout.

Review Summaries

  • The poems are grounded in the bodily reality of living in a place, linking nature and daily life with a strong line. The affection for Yamato reads not merely as nostalgia but as active poetic force.
