Renga
The renga ( Japanese 連 歌 ) is the medieval form of the Japanese chain poem, which does not come from a single poet, but in which several artists take turns.
It consists of a series of tanka - Japanese short poems ( Uta ) and was created in the Japanese Middle Ages . Tanka were connected to lyrical forms with up to 100 stanzas, the upper tunnel ( hokku ) being 5: 7: 5 syllables and the lower tunnel ( matsuku ) 7: 7 syllables. From the hokku , the developed Haiku .
