Waka Poetry Society

The Waka Poetry Society is a group dedicated to preserving, studying, and promoting Waka, a traditional form of Japanese poetry that dates back over a thousand years. Waka poems are short, often composed of 5-7-5-7-7 syllables, similar to haiku but with a different style and cultural significance. The society holds events, encourages new compositions, and fosters appreciation for Waka’s literary and historical importance. It serves as a community for enthusiasts, scholars, and poets to share and deepen their understanding of this elegant and expressive poetic form.
