Tanka reading performance oveseas.
 |
Oct. 8th, I performed Japanese-English tanka reading at a literature event held at Sofia City Library, Bulgaria. |
 |
I tried my best to deliver message from soul to soul, because both English nor Japanese are not the audience's mother tongue. I was very happy when the people gathered there were moved to tears, and gave me wonderful comments. |

Ms. Iliyana Stoyanova made opening remarks. |

On the last day of ANIMUSIC Organological Congress2019, I presented Japanese and English tanka reading. |
 |
The venue was a hotel & restaurant "Pousada Conventode Belmonte", a tasteful masonry building. I was very happy because I was allowed to use this wonderful facility, where the lighting and sound rebibration are beautifully designed. |
 |
The artists from many countries such as Lithuania, Israel, Italy, France, Russia, Netherland, and the host country Portugal, gave me moving comments. I would like to keep them in mind and continue my performance from now on. |
 |
A photographer of the municipal government came, and I felt very much obliged. I extend my sincere gratitude toward those who listened my presentation with tears in their eyes, for many of them Japanese or English was not their mother tongue. I will conitinue making efforts to deliver heart-to-heart message through my performance. |
