  1. Tropical Sun · 1983
    Tropical Sun · 1983 This yellow is not merely local colour; it is the colour of life that has endured.
  2. Ieodo · 1980
    Ieodo · 1980 The empty boat remembers those who could not return; Ieodo remembers the names that could never be called.
  3. The Old Pine and the Old Man · 1987
    The Old Pine and the Old Man · 1987 The old man cannot go inside, fearing that the boat will vanish the moment he turns away.
  4. The Crow and I · 1979
    The Crow and I · 1979 Knowing one another's solitude without speech is the dialogue between the crow and me.
  5. A Single Dot · 2006
    A Single Dot · 2006 When nothing more can be removed, one dot remains. The emptiest place becomes the fullest.
  6. The Jetty · 1979
    The Jetty · 1979 An empty boat has reached the jetty, but the person has not returned. Arrival and absence occupy the same scene.
