お知らせ

I will participate in a literature event to be held in Motreal, Canada, on April 23rd.

I am more than happy to have an opportunity to introduce the meter and the depth of tanka as many people as possible through my tanka reading performance.

During my stay in Canada, I am going to visit an elementary school and junior-high shcool to introduce tanka to youngsters.

I had an opportunity to perform bilingual tanka reading at the poetry sharing event held in Tokyo Bunka Kaikan, Ueno, as a part of SAKURA HAIKU FESTIVAL.

I was very honored for this  because I was able to present tanka to the Haiku poets.

Although I had only 4 hours from the request to complete all the preparation - actually, it was the shortest preparation time for me! - I was able to satisfy all the attendants.
