For sure, from school you know such genres of classical Japanese poetry as Haiku (or Haiku) and Tanka. Each of the genres has its own ancient history of formation as an art, going back centuries. These capacious and meaningful songs (as the Japanese call them) found a response in the hearts of many people. And the test of time only proves it.
Japanese poetry is based on alternating a certain number of syllables. There is no rhyme, but much attention is paid to the sound and rhythmic organization of the poem.
Haiku (initial poems) - a genre of Japanese poetry: a non-rhyming triplet of 17 syllables (5+7+5). The art of writing haiku is primarily the ability to say a lot in a few words. This genre is genetically related to Tanka.
Tanka (short song) - the oldest genre of Japanese poetry (first records - 8th century). Non-rhyming pentameters of 31 syllables (5+7+5+7+7). It expresses a fleeting mood, full of understatement, is distinguished by poetic grace, often-complex associativity, word play.
In our app you will find a collection of more than 1200 poems. You will get acquainted with the style and biography of famous poets such as Basho, Issa, Akiko Yosano, Ryokan and other.

- to go to a specific verse number, click on the current page number and enter the desired number.
- use the button in the form of a Lotus flower with the text of the verse to add or remove an item from your favorites.
