- For
- Japanese-language news readers who enjoy writing poetry
- Worth noticing
- The submission form counts Japanese sound units, including small kana combinations, and allows up to one extra or missing sound.
Field notes
The homepage groups prompts by topic and keeps older subjects available, so visitors can write to current news or browse earlier prompts. Its sound counter uses readings for kanji and treats small kana combinations as a single sound; poems may run one sound long or short. The displayed entries include likes and mascot commentary, while posting requires a registered account.
