Signed copy of "Words to Live By" Machi Tawara New, unread. May be removed without notice as it is also listed on other flea market sites. Smartphones and the internet have become a part of daily life, and modern society, where we can communicate with people we can't see, is convenient but also troublesome. In an age where the power of words can be said to be the power to live, how do we strengthen the foundation of the Japanese language, and what is important? The author, a tanka poet, examines how to use words in various situations such as love, parenting, dramas, utakai (poetry gatherings), SNS, and AI, based on her own experiences.
