Contemprary Tanka Poet Mariko Kitakubo. Article details.

Jan. 30, 2016, I perform tanka reading in Kyoto on the theme of Africa.

January 30th, 2016, from 14:00 to 16:00, I will perform tanka reading at Sakaimachi Garow, an art gallery in Nakakyouku district in Kyoto-city. This time, I will read tanka on the theme of Tanzania, Africa, for a change.

It also serves as a pre-event for my tanka performance in Tanzania scheduled in April, where I introduce Japanese tanka to African audience.

In the beginning, please enjoy my tanka reading, and afterwards, Prof. Tsujimura of Kyoto University, my acquaintance for 15 years, will talk about interesting aspects about Africa.

Tanzanian Kilimanjaro coffee and sweets will be served at the event.

We ask for admission fee just for the coffee and sweets.
