As in two weeks ago, I appeared again on "Tanka Hour", a radio program of FM Taman, Okinawa.
I introduced a series of Tanka about a sense of wonder that I feel through talking to Japan direct surpassing 16-hour time difference.

Performed Tanka reading at a meeting "Haiku Poets of Northern California" (HPNC) at Fort Mason, San Francisco. Although it was the meeting for Haiku poets, all the participants were highly interested in Tanka, and accepted me in a very favorable atmosphere.
I was so happy to know that some of the participants actually started Tanka composition, in addition to Haiku, after hearing my reading performance at HPNC some years ago.
Keeping in mind my gratitude towards them, I would like to make more efforts to offer better performance.

I appeared in a radio program, "Tanka Hour", on FM Taman. Did some reading of my own Tanka works, which were published in "Kadan" of Honami Shoten and "Tanka" of Kadokawa Shoten, both of which are renowned Tanka publications.
