Tanka prose is a literary genre whose individual compositions employ two modes of writing -— verse and prose. It was first composed by Japanese poets, often in the elementary form of a prose commentary or anecdote to accompany a poem, and only later in the more extended forms of memoir and diary. Tanka prose, therefore, is related to but predates another Japanese literary form, haibun, and differs from haibun in the verse form that it utilizes. Tanka prose employs tanka with prose while haibun employs haiku with prose. Tanka were composed in Japan for nearly a millennium before the advent of haiku. Early examples of tanka prose are the Tosa Diary by Ki no Tsurayuki (940 M.E.) and the Gossamer Years by the woman known as “the mother of Michitsuna” (980 M.E.). Early haibun, by contrast, are the 17th century works of Matsuo Bashō, some seven centuries later.
