Help Support LaSpina.org

On this site, among other things, I provide:

  • high-quality photos of Japan
  • translations of old Japanese haiku as well as other Japanese poetry
  • interpretation of these poems and, with few restrictions, give them to you

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 want everything I produce to be freely available to everyone. The promise of the internet is free access to all information, and I really like that idea.

However, running this website isn’t free. I put a lot of my own money into my photography, into my translations (buying old, often pricey, Japanese books), and into hosting and running this website. This does add up. I don’t demand your money, but if you would like to help and show your support for the services I give you, I have made a number of options available to you below.

Thank you very very much for anything you give. I couldn’t do this website without you. You rock!

I have a few options here. I know people like Patreon and Paypal options, so I will add these in time. If there are any others you’r like me to consider, please suggest them.

  • Please buy me a coffee – There are also some monthly and annual options on this page.
