Of these, the poem “Taiyadango” by Takahiro Uchida (25) from Tokyo, who lives in a wheelchair with an intractable illness whose motor function declines, says,
“Fluffy dumplings. Sticky dumplings.
It will
be a good boy (dango) ."
Uchida-san was impressed by the strength of the dumplings and wrote a poem with the intention of becoming such a man, “I was very happy to see the poem displayed. I would like to hear your impression."
