| | Tanka Workshop Spring 2015
It was held at the Mori's on April 4, making the 5th year of our Tanka
Workshop since first started. There were 9 people participated this time,
all of who have already established own style and found writing Tanka is so
much enjoyable while still learning hard.
This year's goal is to study easy grammar and adapt them to compose phrase.
At the Spring Workshop we challenged to write, by using "Ka" or "Ya", about
something "unknown/wonder" one may have questions in our daily life, society
or else. By doing so, it would help you recognize what you want to know;
what you didn't know. The older you get, the more you experienced thus the
better you know, the less you questioned about things. But finding something
you didn't know, then you want to know, is the first step to fulfill your
mind-space as well as to help your brain and mind more active thus open your
perspective. In order for you to come up with a question about something,
anything, you'd need to "see" the object or matter carefully, and that is the
very basic of Tanka. It is no doubt that everyone felt pure satisfaction
after reading own-original Tanka in print in today's workshop.
