Japanese Arts Fusion
Dear Poet Friends and Friends of Poets,
I would like to share information with you about a Japanese Performing Arts Event with commissioned art installation which I have organized for the Pacific Asia Museum in the Los Angeles CA area, one of only four American institutions to exhibit Pan-Asia arts. The museum has been wonderfully supportive, and will use this event as their "kick off event" for this year's focus on Japanese Arts.
I wish you all could be there!

so very sad to hear of Hatsue passing. i have all the book translations that jane & her so wonderfully published. she will be greatly missed.
ReplyDeleteYes, sad to hear of Hatsue's passing, although since she had been in a coma for so long, perhaps her passing is a relief of her suffering. I had the pleasure to meet Hatsue in Vancouver, BC at the world tanka conference (2000), and also in Japan. In Tokyo, she was a most generous host when I was a guest for a meeting of the tanka club there. She was always so enthusiastic about tanka, especially tanka in English -- those who write tanka should be grateful for her forward-thinking support of English-language tanka through the Tanka Journal, which she edited for many years. My condolences to all her family and friends.
