Contemprary Tanka Poet Mariko Kitakubo. Article details.
Sept. 22, at ANIMUSIC Organological Congress in Belmonte, Portugal
On the last day of ANIMUSIC Organological Congress2019, I presented Japanese and English tanka reading. |
|
The venue was a hotel & restaurant "Pousada Conventode Belmonte", a tasteful masonry building. I was very happy because I was allowed to use this wonderful facility, where the lighting and sound rebibration are beautifully designed. |
|
The artists from many countries such as Lithuania, Israel, Italy, France, Russia, Netherland, and the host country Portugal, gave me moving comments. I would like to keep them in mind and continue my performance from now on. |

A photographer of the municipal government came, and I felt very much obliged. I extend my sincere gratitude toward those who listened my presentation with tears in their eyes, for many of them Japanese or English was not their mother tongue. I will conitinue making efforts to deliver heart-to-heart message through my performance. |
