I am very happy to have edited 136 Gogyoshi from about 30 countries all over the world. Last August in 2018, I invited 115 Gogyoshi of Love for Mother or Father and invited 21 Gogyoshi in January, 2019 for “The First Anthology of World Gogyoshi”.
I’m not an inventor of Gogyoshi. I don’t know who is the inventor of Gogyoshi in the world. It has been written spontaneously by some poets in Japan since 2000. I am an introducer of Gogyoshi from Japan to the world, but I published a definition of Gogyoshi in English on December 2, 2018 because no one had given it yet and many poets didn’t know the meaning of Gogyoshi clearly.
