Oct. 23, At the tea house in Storrier Steams Garden, a wonderful Japanese garden in Pasadian, CA, I participated in trilingual tanka reading - Japanese, English, and Vietnamese - with Ms. Teresa M. C., a brilliant English poet. Having been wrapped with the silence, singing of insencts was the only sound we heard from the outside. It was a wonderful environment for tanka reading session! My sincerest thanks to the owner and his wife for having us here. |

Although it was rather tight travelling schedule for me because I came to the US one week after I returned Japan from Switzerland, I felt very happy when I received a comment from the audience, saying, "I want to soak in tanka longer next time..." |

On Sept. 29, I will perform bilingual tanka reading in Rorschach, Switzerland.
It will be the first time for the audience to be exposed to Tanka.
<Important Notice>
In my previous information, I announced that the tanka reading performance will be held in Zurich.
However, it was not correct. Sept. 29th performance will take place at MARIABERG in RORSCHACH.
I am sorry that I posted the incorrect information.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Mariko
