Contemprary Tanka Poet Mariko Kitakubo.

This is a great honor for me, and I would like to express my sincere gratitude.

I could not even imagine that my bilingual tanka anthology INDIGO will be housed in a historic and prestigious ryokan *Hiiragiya's English library salon.

Once the current Corona related crisis is over, I would like to visit Ms. Nishimura, the proprietress of Hiiragiya, to express my gratitude directly to her.

I would also like to thank Mr. Nakamura for paying attention to my anthology as well as my reading perforamnce activities overseas.

*Hiiragiya is a long-established ryokan in Kyoto where Yasunari Kawabata and Kyoshi Takahama stayed regularly.
