Sept. 3, Participated in Karuizawa Ryokuin Bungei Salon at Karuizawa Rodoku Kan.

	On Sept. 3rd., early autumn breeze was freshening. I participated in Karuizawa Ryokuin Bungei Salon at Karuizawa Rodoku Kan. It was a wonderful opportunity for me and I learned a lot about being a performer. I would like to extend my sincere gratitude toward everyone there.
	I did a tanka reading as the opening of the event. The mezzanine floor I presented tanka reading is at the left of the stage. (The left photo shows me in the rehearsal.)
	I also performed background sounds with a rainstick and Hamon between my presentations.



	With Mr. Otohiko Kaga, after the event.
