A collection of works by Katue Kitasono (1902-1978), a poet representing Japanese avant-garde poetry, "Moon Night in a Bag: Katue Kitasono's Model Poems". Katue Kitasono started his career as a poet by participating in the emerging art movement from the Taisho era to the beginning of the Showa era. After being influenced by Surrealism, he developed his own poetry that treats words like objects, and based on the VOU club formed in 1935 and the magazine "VOU", he will publish poetry until his death. This book is composed of Kitazono's photographic works, which continued to write poetry through photographs, and is a condensed version of Kitazono's original photo poems. "I create poetry in the viewfinder of my camera with a handful of scraps of paper, cardboard, and pieces of glass. That's the birth of plastic poems" (from the obi). The recorded texts are "9 points are too far-Katsue Kitasono" (Toshiyuki Horie), "Photograph as a poem, Poetry as a photograph" (Hitoshi Kanazawa).
