| THE JAPAN TANKA POETS' SOCIETY |
| NIHON KAJIN CLUB, or THE JAPAN TANKA POETS' SOCIETY, is the largest nationwide organization of tanka poets in Japan with a membership of about 5,000. It publishes, together with 「風」(Wind), THE TANKA JOURNAL twice yearly, as a rule, to provide an international forum for presenting tanka poems and related essays in various languages. The membership fee per annum is US $40 in cash or International Postal
Money Order (Pay to: Nihon-Kajin-Club) obtainable at the post office. The fee entitles the member to submit five tanka poems or a short essay
to the editors of THE TANKA JOURNAL. We do not accept bank checks, because
handling charges in Japan are prohibitive. Please note: International Reply
Coupons are no longer accepted. Those who wish to contribute to THE TANKA JOURNAL without joining the Society are welcome to submit one tanka poem in any language accompanied by three International Reply Coupons. Submissions will not be returned. The editors of THE TANKA JOURNAL hold the right to either accept or reject any submission. |
