Reiwa 5(2023) 4th Startup Grant
Business Overview
Tamana Akazawa and Yuto Imaeda jointly produced a booklet of linked poems and their works will be exhibited. Although they shared a common language, Akazawa wrote poetry and Imaeda tanka. While weaving words together, the poem melts into the minute memories of a unique place, and the reader becomes a viewer and proceeds to read the work. The resulting booklet is something to take home, like a small device that reproduces time and space. We set each other's point of view as "others" and tried to see how the other's gaze resonated in the production and created a new form of poetry.
