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.
