What's New. Information on upcoming reading performance, newly issued books and more. Mariko Kitakubo

Thanks to the great help from many of my friends and acquaintances, I was able to publish my bilingual anthology "INDIGO" from Shabda Press in the United States.

So far, I have published five books, including two bilingual anthologies, but upon the completion of my latest anthology, I am filled with very much refreshing feeling just like I felt when I completed the first book.

At first, I was thinking that my new book would be only for the readers overseas when I received an offer from Shabda Press. However, I started to think that the Japanese readers might enjoy it when Dr. Donald Keene, who embodies the bridge between Japan and overseas, gave my book such a wonderful endorsement, which is more than I deserve.

I will be more than happy if this small book turns out to be contributory to introducing Tanka overseas.

I am going to perform English-Japanese bilingual tanka reading performance on April 18th, 2016, at "the eastern Asia Event" to be held at the University of Dodoma in the capital of Tanzania.  I am looking forward to the presentation because it will be the wonderful opportunity to introduce tanka to those who have never listend to it.

For those who reside there and helped giving me such an opportunity, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude for your cooperation.

The report about the event will be made later in my website.
