Themes I selected were; "Stars" and "Space Morning Glory" from "SPACE", "In the Womb" and "DNA" from "LIFE", "Redwood Tree Forest" and "Banyan Tree" from "TREES", and "Firefly" from "LIVING THINGS."

It was a precious experience for me because I perform tanka reading overseas most of the time.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude toward Ms. Michi Shiina, Professor of Linguistics for offering me such a wonderful opportunity.

I sincerely hope tanka sheds some light on in one way or another to those students of the Faculty of Literature who attended my session in their future.
