This author wrote about giving food to a “child crying in the autumn wind” who had been abandoned by his parents while walking along a riverside with his servant Chiri. This author notes that a creature “gives us no sign / That presently it will die” in a poem about “the cry of the cicada.” A series of travel essays by this author blends prose with poetry and includes Records of a Weather-Exposed Skeleton as well as a work that opens “Days and months are the travellers of eternity.” This poet collected and commented on a series of poems that contain “cutting words” as part of an anthology named for a children’s game in which the title objects are compared, The Seashell Game. For 10 points, the haibun travelogue The Narrow Road to the Deep North is by what Japanese master of haiku? ■END■
