Today is June 2. Five months have passed after we welcomed the new year 2012. Haiku friends of mine have enjoyed their haiku life in their own ways.
On May 10, Ms. Roberta Beary in USA sent me an e-mail as follows.
Hello sensei!
I wanted to share my honorable mention haibun with you for this year’s Genjuan International Haibun Contest.
I have also attached a picture of the red silk obi of the last haiku in the haibun (my dog, Winnie is in the picture too!)
Here you go:
Timeline
When my husband and I arrive in Japan we promise each other it will be for three years. Three years turn into five. And for one of us, five years turn into forever.
cherry blossoms —
dusk slips in
uninvited
Back in the United States, I cannot forget Japan and what I left behind. Now I am a single mother with two small children. How will I raise them on my own?
winding road
face of a rabbit
in the moon
In my struggle I recall a word I often heard in Japan. Gambatte. A word that is hard to translate. Some explain it as ‘be strong’. Others as ‘do your best’. To me Gambatte means ‘keep going’. Over and over I say it. Gambatte becomes my mantra. I keep going. Little by little pieces of my old life mingle with the new. My children’s names in katakana on a scroll above their beds. I eavesdrop as they read side-by-side in tiny rocking chairs. First one story Momotaro the Peach Boy, then the other Kaguya-Hime the Moon Princess.

Time keeps its own counsel. Children grow up and move away. But always, with a sweet nostalgia, I remember Japan.

Here is another picture of the red silk obi.
Last of all, I would like to introduce Roberta Beary to you.
Roberta is a haiku friend of Alan Summers’ and mine.
She says in her e-mail as follows.
Hi Hidenori
Thank you for including haiku from my book, ‘nothing left to say’ at the Int’l Haiku Spring Festival in partnership with the 2010 Bath Japanese Festival. I got to meet Alan Summers last September when I traveled to London. He is an amazing person!!
https://akitahaiku.wordpress.com/2010/05/12
Here is the short introduction: Roberta Beary was born and raised in New York City. In 1990 she moved to Japan for five years of haiku study. Her individual poems, an unconventional hybrid of haiku and senryu, have been honored throughout North America, Europe and Asia for their innovative style. Her book of haiku and senryu, The Unworn Necklace (Snapshot Press, 2007), selected as a William Carlos Williams Book Award finalist (Poetry Society of America), was named a Haiku Society of America Merit Book Award prize winner. She also co-edited two Haiku Society of America anthologies both of which were named Merit Book Award winners. Her most recent work, a chapbook titled ‘nothing left to say’(edited by Michael Dylan Welch) is the 20th title in the Hexagram Series of master haiku poets.
Wishing you all the best,
Roberta
Here is a photo of me taken in December 2005 at the Kumamoto Hotel in Japan. I was in Kumamoto to receive the Grand Prize in the Kusumakura International Haiku Contest （「草枕」国際俳句大会）. The prize included a trip to Japan! My winning haiku: thunder/the roses shift/into shadow
Here is the photo of me which appears on my book of haiku, The Unworn Necklace, winner of the Poetry Society of America Finalist Award. A hardcover edition will be published this year by Snapshot Press, UK.
Now I present the first haiku from her book ‘nothing left to say’.
nothing left to say
an empty nest

言うことは何も残されていない
一つの空の巣
雪で一杯である

First of all, let me post a Christmas present from Mr. Francis Tugaye, a haiku friend in France, who is an artist and loves Japanese cultures so much.
Here is a photo of Francis’ art.
Secondly, let me post the last article of AIU festival 2011 , missing the autumn in 2011.
On October 9 and 10, 2011, AIU Festival was held at Akita International University（国際教養大学）in Akita prefecture（秋田県）, Northern Honshu, Japan.
The festival, whose theme is HOOP ～世界とハチあわせ！～, had 3Philosophies : Academic（学問）, Culture（文化）, and Entertainment（楽しさ）.
The AIU students enjoyed the festival in their own ways.
They gave their cultural activities to enjoy a variety of meetings, HOOP ～世界とハチあわせ！in the festival.
Here are some photos of those activities.
Some of the students from overseas started preparing for the AIU festival in July for the purpose of making the Haiga postcard charity sale.
They enjoyed the haiga workshops, sometimes visiting the haiku tablets.
They donated money to those who experienced the Great East Japan Earthquake.
Some Romanian haiku poets also donated their haiga or haiku to the AIU festival in order to show their condolences, prayers, or hopes through the exhibition to the Japanese people.
Ms. Patricia Lidia in Romania kindly sent her haiku on September 6.
She also kindly sent the haiku for 2012 by Mrs. Ioana Dinescu and the art work by Mrs. Constanta Erca to me on December 20.
Here is a photo of their art work.
