Haiku Poets Association Newcomer Award

踏歌: 福永耕二句集 (邑書林句集文庫 H)

Koji Fukunaga

Fukunaga Koji's second haiku collection. It captures cityscapes, the daily life of a teacher, feelings for home, and sharp seasonal changes in tense, youthful language. Including the well-known haiku that sees Shinjuku's high-rises as distant gravestones, it brings postwar urban space and nature into contact.

Work Information

Urban towers like gravestones resonate with the seasonal passage of migrating birds.

Tōka records the urban and seasonal sensibility Fukunaga reached in his brief life. Through Shinjuku buildings, classrooms, home ground, birds, and kites in the sky, it links the body living in the modern city with haiku tradition in taut language.

Review Summaries

  • Fukunaga is introduced as a haiku poet who joined the founding of Oki, helped younger poets, and won the 4th Haijin Kyokai Newcomer Award for Tōka.

  • The representative haiku from Tōka about Shinjuku as distant gravestones is read as joining the evening view of high-rises with the seasonal feeling of migrating birds.
