Haiku: Difference between revisions

'''Haiku''' is a traditional Japanese poetry form essentially consisting of three lines of 5-7-5 syllables, respectively. In modern localizations, the people from towns modeled after [[Japan]], such as [[Jipang]] and [[Hotto]], tend to speak almost exclusively in it. However, these haiku are not entirely faithful to the Japanese tradition, as they often lack seasonal references and "cutting," a two-way division that is introduced in Japanese with special words called kireji (cutting words). Cutting in translation tends to either be implied or expressed with a dash.
