The Lesser Light

Inspired by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi's woodblock prints, this collection features 500 poems that explore the moon through the author's unique lens. Each poem draws from a variety of influences including personal experiences, dreams, folklore, and historical events, creating a rich tapestry of reflections. The connections to the moon may not be immediately clear, inviting readers to engage deeply and interpret the meanings at their own pace. This work offers a blend of fantasy and reality, encouraging contemplation and personal insight.
