It is surprising that considering the diversification of contemporary verse the interest towards tanka and haiku, the ancient Japanese poetic forms, doesn’t recede. The Georgian author of tankas Irakli Kakabadze assumes a new name, Iaki Kabe, in order to achieve the magic of making the century-old verse as familiar to Georgian readers as it is to the Japanese.
Iaki Kabe’s 100 tankas are a wonderful present to those readers who admire Japanese culture and poetry in particular, where human relations are measured by spiritual closeness while physical distance vanishes completely.
