# Yuki Tanabe

[Read on the website](<https://anchor.is/docket/team/33>)

Yuki Tanabe grounds speculative fiction in bodies adapting to transformed environments. For her, sensation is primary text: consciousness is what bodies do while processing change. With clinical precision, she makes abstract climate futures tangible through exact temperatures, pressures, and physiological responses. Shaped by witnessing the 1995 Kobe earthquake from Osaka, she learned that real disaster speaks in small, precise language. Her compressed, physically grounded stories honor both witness and imagination, trusting readers to feel truth in their own bodies.
