A Toast to the New Year


Here is one of the founders of the Yuki Teikei Haiku Society, Kiyoko Tokutomi (holding the wineglass) with Jane Reichhold, haiku stalwart and translator of Basho. The picture was taken at an annual Haiku Retreat at Asilomar (California) 
which the Yuki Teikei Haiku Society has held there annually since the mid 1980s.
