April 5th, I performed bilingual tanka reading at JCCCM (Japanese Canadian Cultural Center in Motreal) in Montreal, Canada.

There were some people in the audience who are familiar with tanka, and some others are not. However, everyone enjoyed the nostalgic sound and meter of Japanese. It was a great pleasure for me to share the time with them.

Having touched with the participants' enthusiasm for anti-nuclear, it was a precious experience for me filled with a sincere prayer.

I felt a powerful energy in young people's recitation of Tamiki Hara's poems, and in singing voice of boys & girls in Hiroshima.
