History of Tanka (Japanese traditional poem)
Even in the late Asuka period(From the latter half of the 6th century to middle of 7th century), waka poets such as Kakinomoto no Hitomaro made "tanka" as an independent work.
It was suitable to express their private interest in life and expression, in comparison with "choka", which was solemn enough to express serious and deep emotion when facing a significant event.
In the early Heian period (at the beginning of the 10th century), "choka" was seldom written and "tanka" became the main form of waka.
Since then, the generic term waka came to be almost synonymous with tanka.
Side by side with the new prominence of "tanka" came the development of forms of "tanka" prose, the melding of tanka and prose in single literary compositions.
Famous examples of such works are the diaries of Ki no Tsurayuki and Izumi Shikibu, as well as such collections of poem tales as The Tales of Ise and The Tales of Yamato.
The Heian period also saw the invention of a new tanka-based game: one poet recited or created half of a tanka, and the other finished it off.
This sequential, collaborative tanka was called renga ("linked poem"). (The form and rules of renga developed further during medieval times; see the renga article for more details.)
