In commemoration of the 150th biligual tanka reading performance overseas, I compiled photos of 36 cities around the world where I performed Japanese-English tanka reading.  The photos of domestic cities where I attended international events are also included.

I would like to continue to devote myself to introduce the charm of tanka and Japanese poetic metera from now on.
