Contemprary Tanka Poet Mariko Kitakubo.

It may be a bit early to announce, but on May 18th, I am going to hold a workshop, "Getting Familiar with Tanka" and present English-Japanese tanka reading for the students who study Japanese language at the Graduate School of Humanities of Hosei University.

I am given time for 2 classes. I will perform bilingual tanka reading and compose tanka with students so that the young generation interested in Japanese culture can enjoy in the first half. In the second half, I will have a talk with the professor. I will carefully plan the classes to make it more instructive for the students.

if you would like to join the workshop, please drop me a line to tanka@kitakubo.com.
