"One of the oldest Japanese forms, the tanka (or waka) originated in seventh-century Japan. ... The tanka usually contains thirty-one syllables or sound units, nearly double the haiku's seventeen. Like the haiku, the tanka's central image is taken from nature, but a shift almost always occurs when that image is recast through a more personal lens."--Back cover.
