Hello,
I wanted to share an exciting opportunity for readers. The University of Washington, my alma mater, is hosting a lecture in-person and online by none other than Professor Joshua Mostow!
Years ago, Dr Mostow graciously allowed me to use his translations of the Hyakunin Isshu for this blog, and readers have hopefully enjoyed his translations over the years. We poet-enthusiasts have all benefitted from Dr Mostow’s hard work and enthusiasm for the field. Let’s show our support, and enjoy a fascinating lecture on the Hyakunin Isshu and how it impacted Japanese history in later times.
You can see lecture details here:

Registration for the event is here:

Due to family scheduling conflicts, I am registered online. Hope you can all make it!

The Hyakunin Isshu 
Hi! I’m a bit confused. Where can I register online, not in-person? It’s the “Can’t attend” button the one?
Thanks!
It’s the same registration link. Halfway through, there’s an option to choose either in-person or online. I chose the online option and clicked next.
if you don’t see it, let me know I’ll try to post more screenshots.
Oh, darn it. I am going to a One Ok Rock concert that night 🥴 I wonder if they’re saving an online copy of the lecture…it would be great to be able to watch it afterwards.
Oof I feel this. From what I can gather on the website it seems like they might save past lectures. If so, I’ll try to link it from here.
I wanted to attend in person and shake Professor Mostow’s hand if I could. Sadly a family member is using the car and I have to stay home. 🤦🏼♂️
