Reposted by Alan SummersOrak ⚜️ @opjtx.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Shinko TOKIZANE, I think; was largely successful with #senryu because she did two things. She was previously a #tanka poet. So she naturally brought the expansiveness and freedom of emotion, self, and content into #senryu. And I think she tapped into the fullness of Haikai as a genre. 184
