このコンテンツについて

In this episode we round off our tanka series with something a little different – kyōka.

Kyōka are often described as the “wild poems” of the tanka world – witty, playful, and full of wry social commentary. Think of them as to tanka what senryū are to haiku.

👉 What you’ll hear in this episode:

  • A short introduction to kyōka and their place in Japanese poetry
  • Examples from the Japanese, translated into English
  • Contemporary kyōka written originally in English
  • A light-hearted discussion about humour in poetry

📚 Don’t forget – our latest haibun journal Tendrils is out now. Link in the show notes if you’d like to grab a copy (print or PDF).
