SOCIETY Haiku poet, who won the 2020 Yomiuri Literature Prize in this 』, the latest collection of haiku poems, will compile into one volume some 60 essays that he published in the Nikkei Shimbun and haiku magazines from March 11 to the COVID-19 crisis. The title of the essay is from his own poem, "In fact, Aitatashi 拝復 Semi-Shigure." Each essay recalls the people who "really want to meet" from "this place" where he lives from time to time. The people who are there are dead people - their father who lost his life in the battlefield as an army surgeon, a teacher of haiku, their husband who died just recently, and people who lost their life in the war that seems to have been caused by a natural disaster that is raging in the disaster area. The imagination of the author goes to the life itself nurtured by nature such as flowers and animals. It is a fun Tabi No Tochu. While doing housework, you can watch the video on TV, and the "this place" where he lives now is connected to his life and the other world. The writings born from a penetrating perspective that always looks at his own thoughts from the perspective of the audience leave an unutterable aftertaste with the words of his own handwriting, his master, his friend, and Sendatsu as precise periods. 『
