At "Tanka Sunday", the last day of HNA event, I performed tanka reading with Ms. Margaret Chula, the president of Tanka Society of America. We selected mainly from Ms. Chula's recently published bilingual anthology, "Just This", for which I worked on translation into Japanese. We also added some other works each of us created recently.
