It was so great experience that I could do the bilingual tanka reading performance for the Opening event of Nick Virgilio Writer's House on April 28th 2018. |
|
I recited the sequence, Nostalgia Vietnam from my tanka poetry book INDIGO published by Shabda Press. |

Because Nick Virgilio has the sad memories and experiences of Vietnam. |

April 6th, 12:45 p.m. I preformed bilingual tanka reading in order to introduce the Japanese oldest literature at the 6th grade class in Jean Grou at Commission Scolaire Marguerite-Bourageoys, Montreal.
I was very much impressed with their sincere attitude to absorb unknown culture. I feel deep gratitude toward them. |
|
In addition to the introduction of the Japanese oldest literature, we had a time to enjoy Origami. We had a friendly mutual communication, and it was a great experience for me.
I was able to recognize again that the cultural exchange is not something stiff and formal. It is an attempt to shorten the distance of our mind and soul. |
