  • The Basic Structure of Tanka Prose
    The Elements of Tanka Prose by Jeffrey Woodward Introduction: Basic Definition The marriage of prose and waka, the forerunner of modern tanka, occurred early in the history of Japanese literature, from the 8th to 11th centuries, with rudimentary beginnings in the Man’yōshū and later elaboration as an art in the Tales of Ise and Tale of Genji. One aspect of the proliferation of prose with waka forms is that practice moved far in advance of theory. Japanese criticism to this day lacks consensus on a name for this hybrid genre. The student, instead, is met with a plethora of terms that aspire to be form-specific, e.g., preface or headnote (kotobagaki), poem tale (uta monogatari), literary diary (nikki bungaku), travel account (kikō), poetic collection (kashū), private poetry collection (shikashū) and many more [Konishi, II, 256-258; Miner, 14-16] The first problem one must address, therefore, in any discussion of tanka plus prose is terminology. While Japanese waka practice and criticism afford no precedent, the analogy of tanka with prose to the latter development of haibun does. The term haibun, when applied to a species of literary composition, commonly signifies haiku plus prose written in the ―haikai spirit.‖ It would not be mere license to replace haibun with haiku prose or haikai prose as proper nomenclature. Upon the same grounds, tanka prose becomes a reasonable term to apply to literary specimens that incorporate tanka plus prose – a circumstance which may lead one to inquire, not unreasonably, whether tanka prose also indicates prose composed in the ―tanka spirit.‖ Fundamental Structure of Tanka Prose Tanka prose, like haibun, combines the two modes of writing: verse and prose.

McAuley This article examines the translation of the premodern Japanese thirty-one syllable poetic form known as waka. Set against the context of current scholarly work in Translation Studies on the practices and processes involved in the translation of poetry, as well as constraints imposed by the current nature of many waka as literary works which have been subject to a centuries-long process of canonization, it analyses the challenges posed by the poems to the translator in the following areas: first, form and identification, covering differing solutions to the lineation of waka translations.

  • Tanka : Structure
    Tanka : Structure by M. Kei In a previous article, “Tanka Structure : The ‘Jo’ or ‘Preface,’” (ATPO 13), I discussed the ‘jo’ in detail, so I will omit it here. Introduction In the various debates over what constitutes tanka, structure is rarely mentioned. Perhaps it goes without saying that tanka have structure, but since it is what holds a tanka together, it is worth analyzing . Structure is what distinguishes poetry from ordinary speech and also from prose. Prose has structure, but it is a different sort of structure. Ordinary speech has some structure, but what structure it possesses is often undermined by lapses in logic, tangents, and fumbling around looking for the right words. The structures of poetry, especially of tanka, derive from their prosody: Tanka were and still are songs. This is why tanka is usually described as lyric poetry. Even so, there is very little discussion about tanka structure or how different sorts of structures serve particular purposes better than others. This article is an attempt to identify various forms of structure as an aid both to reading and writing tanka. Refrain The very oldest tanka made use of structures familiar in Western songs, such as the refrain. A refrain is a line or word that is repeated at different points in the song. The structures often looked like those below, but could vary: L1 body L2 refrain L3 body L4 body L5 refrain L1 body L2 body L3 refrain L4 body L5 refrain L1 body L2 body L3 body L4 refrain L5 refrain As the refrain proper declined in popularity, its work was often done by repeating words or sounds, thus keeping up the musicality of the verse while diversifying the vocabulary and expanding the meaning.

  • Stalking the Wild Onji
    World Haiku Association Stalking the Wild Onji: The Search for Current Linguistic Terms Used in Japanese Poetry Circles RICHARD GILBERT Published in Language Issues: Journal of the Foreign Language Education Center.(1999, Vol. 5, No. 1). Prefectural University of Kumamoto, Kumamoto, Japan. Also Frogpond: Journal of the Haiku Society of America, XXII: Supplement (1999). Comments Welcome -- CONTACT: Richard Gilbert, Adjunct Professor of English, Prefectural University of Kumamoto, Kumamoto, Japan. Email: [email protected]; Homepage: http://ww7.tiki.ne.jp/~gilbert/index.htm; Additional Haiku Research: http://ww7.tiki.ne.jp/~gilbert/research.htm Abstract Many challenges confront poets and educators in the burgeoning international haiku and tanka poetry movements who, researching Japanese forms of poetic composition in English translation, wish to better understand these genres and skillfully emulate them. Differences between the two languages and inadequate presentations of these differences have created confusions, misusage of terms, and in some quarters a reductionistic sensibility regarding formal aspects of Japanese poetry. Onji, the Japanese term commonly used in the West to count up and define Japanese "syllables," has had a contentious history in North America, having served as one of several loci of controversy regarding how the haiku, particularly, is best emulated in English. This paper investigates the historic usage of onji as a linguistic term in Japan and presents an argument for its removal from usage, as currently construed, by the international haiku community. Linguistic terms that are in widespread use within contemporary Japanese haiku circles are described, defined, and suggested as replacements. It is hoped that such reparations may effectively halt a rapidly escalating situation of cross-cultural miscommunication, occurring in both directions.
