kris moon (kris young/kondo) was born and lived in the US until 1972 when she boarded a ship for Japan because of her fascination with that country, its art and literature. She lives in Japan, by a river in a village in the Tanzawa Mountains. She recently visited Southern CA and led three “renku” sessions with Pasadena poets. Renku is a form of collaborative haiku poetry.
