Haiku Reading Event
On May 3rd, the Embassy of Japan was pleased to co-host a haiku reading event with KaDo Ottawa, a local organization dedicated to the study and practice of writing Japanese poetry, including haiku. The event was attended by 20 members of the organization. Participants read their own haiku aloud while attendees appreciated the consideration and care put into every word. Furthermore, attendees engaged in a candid discussion on the essence of creating haiku and shared their own thoughts and ideas.
While attendees wrote haiku, Mrs. Yumiko Tsunakawa, President of the Canada Japan Society of Ottawa created a beautiful Ikebana arrangement to inspire their poetry.
