Born in 1927 in the then colony of Korea, poet and writer Morisaki Kazue carried out various activities throughout her life and passed away on 15 June 2022 at the age of 95. Morisaki was mainly recognised by the public as a thinker and reportage writer, but on the other hand, she called herself “I am a poet”. Morisaki published seven books of poetry during her 95-year life. Between 1964 and 2004, five independent collections of poetry were published, while two edited collections of poems, Morisaki's Poetry Collection, were published in 1984 and 2015. Since the edited poetry collections are compilations of previously published poems, Morisaki's final poetry collection is the aforementioned “Sasabue Hitotsu (One Sasabue)”. This article focuses on Morisaki's last collection of poems as a poet, Sasafue Hitto. By re-reading this collection of poems, I have investigated what she was trying to depict in her poems and what kind of words she left behind at the end of her contemplation. Morisaki dedicates this collection of poems to her late father, mother and brother. It also contains poems that can be seen as a journey for Morisaki, who compares life to a 'journey'. This collection of poems is both a requiem for her family and an expression of Morisaki's determination to continue her journey of expression.
