Tanka And Haikai: Japanese Rhythms is a book written by Sadakichi Hartmann and first published in 1916. The book is a collection of poems that explore the traditional Japanese poetic forms of Tanka and Haikai. Tanka is a form of poetry that consists of five lines with a syllable count of 5-7-5-7-7. Haikai, on the other hand, is a form of poetry that consists of three lines with a syllable count of 5-7-5. Both Tanka and Haikai are known for their brevity and ability to convey deep emotions and ideas in a few words. In this book, Hartmann provides a brief history of these poetic forms and their significance in Japanese culture. He also includes a selection of his own Tanka and Haikai poems, as well as translations of works by famous Japanese poets such as Basho and Issa. Overall, Tanka And Haikai: Japanese Rhythms is a fascinating exploration of two of Japan's most beloved poetic forms, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in Japanese literature and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
