  • VSANA

    Happy to share my 3 ku published on the website of VSANA (Viewing Stones of North America). Grateful to dear Thomas Elias, for the acceptance and publication.

    The stone for April was “Boukido”- this Japanese tunnel stone gives the appearance of a naturally formed opening or tunnel penetrating through a massive rock. In Japan, it is known as a Domon-Ishi, a term that refers to natural rock formations that include arches, tunnels, and gateway stones.

    Congratulations to all featured poets.
