I am projecting publishing Duet books with foreign poets through our poetry association in Kyoto, JUNPA. I am looking for a nice french translator who can understand my poems to join the collections for other poets as well as the internation festival in Romania in 2019. I am also joing it in 2018 though.

She began writing haiku in 2008 and was awarded a prize at the 12th annual Mainichi Haiku Contest. Her first collection of haiku Kiss the Dragonwas published in 2012.

Like a Disk
In a blurred dream of dawn lightning shakes my body, entering my blood,
rushing through my entire body, drawing out a quiet soul.
On my transparent mind a black meteorite falls.
An alien appeared.
Strong light and gentle wind
Ah, it is calling me!
The world of the Milky Way,
the most beautiful form in the universe.
Don't blame me—
Surely forever
Beautiful and desolate
Falling into me
Poems of the memories of light years Falling, endlessly falling
Sin is to fall—
