Help Support LaSpina.org

On this site, among other things, I provide:

  • High-quality photos of Japan
  • Translations of classical Japanese haiku as well as other Japanese poetry
  • Interpretations and commentary

All free.

This isn’t going to change. It seems to be a trend on the internet to lock some things behind a paywall and only allow members access. I don’t want to do that. I believe in the original promise of the internet: free access to information for everyone. That idea still means something to me.

But running this site isn’t free. I invest my own money in photography gear, in sourcing rare and often expensive Japanese books, and in hosting and maintaining this website. It adds up.

I’m not begging for money — but if you’ve found value in what I do and would like to support it, I’ve made a few donation options available below.

Thank you. Your support truly helps make this possible. You rock!

More options (like PayPal or Patreon) may be added in the future. If there’s a method you prefer, let me know.

  • Please buy me a coffee – One-time, monthly, and yearly support options available.

  • Prefer Bitcoin? Donations can be made at the following address:

(If you’d like to donate another cryptocurrency, I can accept anything supported by Exodus Wallet. Just get in touch.)
