Message from the Local Organizing Committee for HPR 2007
Minako Noma and Hirofumi Yoshino are very happy and honored
to assist as the coordinators for the local organizing
committee of the Haiku Pacific Rim Conference in 2007. We need
your comments or requests to make the conference successful.
Your ideas for the conference are very much appreciated. Please feel

The forthcoming HPR conference has a theme which is directly
related to haiku, understandable to a general audience.
Therefore, we chose the theme as "Haiku is My Friend, Your Friend!"
