2014/09/10 Moonviewing Event at Storrier Stearns Japanese Garden
At the moonviewing event at Storrier Stearns Japanese Garden in the suburbs of Pasadena, California, I performed reading of moon-related poems selected from Manyoshu as well as some from my works as contemporary tanka. | |
I was more than happy to receive appreciation towards Japanese 5-7 syllables sound from non-Japanese speakers, and it was a precious moment for me to deepen my respect for our culture and literature. The event organizer, Kathabela Wilson; TSA - Tanka Society of America Secretary. |
