In commemoration of the 150th bilingual reading performance overseas...

In commemoration of the 150th biligual tanka reading performance overseas, I compiled photos of 36 cities around the world where I performed Japanese-English tanka reading.  The photos of domestic cities where I attended international events are also included.

I would like to continue to devote myself to introduce the charm of tanka and Japanese poetic metera from now on.

The art event, "Animusic Portugal 2018" was held during Jul. 2nd to 7th in Foz Do Arelho, Portugal.

In the section of "Atlantic Sunset",which started at 6 p.m. on Jul. 6th, I performed Japanese-English bilingual tanka reading.

It was a great experience for me because I was able to meet expressive performers such as the professors of music universities from all over the world including the communist bloc.

I found out that many of them have interests in short poems, and I would like to thank all of them who listened to my performance.
