At the YT Asilomar Retreat in October, 2009, we had a special event celebrating
the publication of Autumn Loneliness, the volume of letters between Kiyoshi and Kiyoko
(translated by Tei Matsushita Scott and Patricia Machmiller)
during the months he was in Japan for some experimental, and unsuccessful,
treatments to restore his hearing. Many family members were able to attend.
This is Mitsuye Tokutomi Hoshino, elder sister of Kiyoshi Tokutomi,
reading from that volume at Asilomar.
Up, up heavenward
riding its own melody
the unseen skylark
Kiyoshi Tokutomi
