A series of my tanka, composed of 5 pieces, will be posted in the issue 47 of "Rattle", which is the most prestigious English poetry magazine.

I am very much honored, and am so grateful, with the fact that my work was discovered among more than 5,000 applicants.

I take this honor very seriously, and devote myself even more to compose tanka. Details will be announced in my website after the magazine is issued in March, 2015.
