the deep blue
of an Alaskan sky
then the voice of an aurora
I want to dive

In the section of "Atlantic Sunset",which started at 6 p.m. on Jul. 6th, I performed Japanese-English bilingual tanka reading.

It was a great experience for me because I was able to meet expressive performers such as the professors of music universities from all over the world including the communist bloc.

I found out that many of them have interests in short poems, and I would like to thank all of them who listened to my performance.

My tanka will be posted in the August edition of "Einunddreissig"

Ms. Valeria Barouch, the co-editor of literary journal, "Einunddreissig", told me that she is going to post 10 pieces of my tanka in the August edition of Einunddreissig.  The pieces will be translated into German.

I am very glad to hear from her some years after I performed reading in Rorschach, Switzerland in 2015.  Ms. Barouch, thank you very much for your wonderful offer!
