This immersive show explores Japanese poetic genres from women's perspectives through song and recited poetry.

The program includes Kiyoshi Nobutoki's settings of 
waka from Ogura Hyakunin Isshu, Japanese art songs by composers Akane Nakanishi and Makiko Kinoshita, and into the shimmering, Leslie Uyeda's contemporary song cycle with poetry by Joy Kogawa. These musical selections are interwoven with recited haiku, written by prominent female haiku masters from throughout Japanese history. 

Presented in collaboration with Multicultural Sonic Evolution as a part of the 2019 Sound of Arts Festival. ​
