Feb. 1st, I had an opportunity to present my bilingual tanka reading performance to those who love poetry and haiku. This gathering was arranged by Ms. Melanie Calvert. She and I got to know each other last year through our common friends, and she became one of my wonderful friends ever since. |

This session in the beautiful city, Altadena, turned out to be my 160th reading performance in 38 cities outside of Japan. |

I would like to express my gratitude to the comments made by the audience - they told me they were deeply moved by my performance. I am so happy that they felt the charm of tanka. I would like to keep it mind, and continue make efforts for my performance. Ms. Melanie Calvert, thank you very much for the wonderful opportunity. |

On January 30, I read a bilingual tanka at the Scenic Drive Gallery in Monrovia, California. It was a wonderful opportunity to be able to present my performance to the poets attending the workshop, in which create poetry in an improvised way inspired by painting work and Rick Wilson 's Caval performance. *The photo shows myself performing tanka reading, accompanied by Mr. Wilson's Shakuhachi performance. |
