Answer & Explanation:Explore the nature
of the Shinto kami, and try our hand at composing Japanese haiku and tanka poems
with the aesthetic feel of the continuity of human beings and nature.
First research the web to find an image
of a Shinto kami of one of the types named in Activity 4.2 of Module 4,
namely: kami of nature, charismatic kami, clan ancestors, and
occupational kami. Post the image, identify the type of Shinto kami, and
explain why you classify it as that particular type.
Then write one original tanka and
one original haiku. Using your creativity, capture the Shinto
theme of purity in one poem, and let the other poem involve the closeness
between human beings and nature. Furthermore, make one of your two poems
reflect the Japanese sensibility of mono no aware, the pathos
of things. Give a brief commentary (about 2 sentences for each poem) on
each of your poems telling how you chose your subject matter, and what you
tried to achieve in the poem.
POETIC FORMS: A tanka is
five lines long, with 5-7-5-7-7 syllable pattern. In other words, it has five
syllables in the first line, seven syllables in the second line, five syllables
in the third line, seven syllables in the fourth line, and seven syllables in
the fifth line. A haikuis three lines long, with a 5-7-5 syllable
pattern.
Clearly label and
explain your answers. Then respond to the postings of two other students. You
key post should be between 300-400 words long
