I am very honored that two pieces of my English tanka were selected among many entries and posted in TSA Member's Anthology 2017.
Especially, I am deeply grateful to Ms. Margaret Dornaus and Mr. David Terelinck, the two selectors, because they understood and appreciated my intent and the theme of these two pieces. These pieces are not limeted to my personal emotion. I tried to focus on the world's peace while taking the form of tanka - a style of short poems.

It was a precious experience for me because I perform tanka reading overseas most of the time. |

I would like to express my sincere gratitude toward Ms. Michi Shiina, Professor of Linguistics for offering me such a wonderful opportunity. I sincerely hope tanka sheds some light on in one way or another to those students of the Faculty of Literature who attended my session in their future. |
