    Can life be distilled
    in verses of 5-7-5?

    "Under the Sakura Tree" features different styles of waka, or Japanese poetry, from the well-known haiku (5-7-5 syllables per line) to tanka (5-7-5-7-7) to choka (alternate lines 5-7, last stanza 5-7-7). Nature shines through these simple words and artwork that accompanies them.
