While tanka and haiku share many similarities, there are also some key differences between the two forms of poetry. The most significant difference is their structure: tanka consists of five lines, while Haiku consists of only three.
A tanka poem is an important form in Japanese poetry that follows a syllable pattern of 5-7-5-7-7. These poems are made up of five units which after translation into English, usually take the form of five lines.
23 Ιουλ 2021 · Tanka poems, which originated in Japan, are short poems intended to evoke vivid imagery and reflection for the reader. They are free verse, so they do not have to rhyme, but must follow specific syllable patterns.
Tanka poems do not rhyme, and they are written in short lines, like haiku. In fact, tanka poems in English generally adhere to a syllabic count. There are five syllables (onji) in the first line, seven in the second, five in the third, and seven in lines four and five (5/7/5/7/7).
17-syllable haiku, or hokka, dating as stand-alone poems from the 17th century and more widely known in the West, has the same form as the first three lines of tanka. Both remain widely used in contemporary Japanese writing, and many Japanese newspapers have a weekly tanka column.
21 Οκτ 2024 · The haiku is a Japanese poetic form that consists of three lines, with five in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the third. The haiku developed from the hokku, the opening three lines of a longer poem known as a tanka. The haiku became a separate form of poetry in the 17th century.
The first difference between haiku and tanka is syllable. Haiku is composed of three phrases 5-7-5 and tanka is of five phrases 5-7-5-7-7. In tanka, 5-7-5 is called “Kamino-ku” (upper phrase) and 7-7 is called “Shimono-ku” (lower phrase).
