Online Tanka workshop in Montreal

20240324_online_tanka_workshop.jpg
On March 24, 2024, I hosted an online Tanka workshop via Zoom organized by Ms. Flavia Garcia in Montréal.

It was the second workshop, and the content was the same as the one I did at La Livrerie the day before.

During the workshop, I presented Tanka reading in Japanese and English and introduced the attendees to the art of Tanka. I also explained the percussion instruments I used during my reading performance for background music. After that, the participants created their Tanka and presented them to the other attendees.

I thank those who participated in the workshop on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. It was delightful to hear that some participants attended this online workshop because they missed the previous day's workshop.

I hope this event will be an excellent opportunity for people to get familiar with Tanka poetry.
