The new form of poetry that emerged in medieval Japan around the year 900 is called "Waka." The term "waka" translates to "Japanese poem," and this traditional form of poetry includes several subgenres, one of the most famous being "tanka." Tanka are structured as five-line poems with a syllable pattern of 5-7-5-7-7. Waka poetry became highly cultivated during the Heian period and was used in court circles for expression and communication.
