TANZAKU

Express Your Thoughts on Tanzaku

Tanzaku are long, narrow cards cut into short widths, as their name suggests.
They have traditionally been used for composing tanka and haiku poems.
You can think of them as elongated shikishi boards.

There are two main sizes: standard width and wide width.
The standard width is 6×36cm, and the wide width is 7.5×36cm.
If you wish to display your work, choose a tanzaku size that matches your tanzaku hanger.
Since tanzaku hangers also come in matching sizes, you can avoid the problem of mismatched dimensions after writing.
We offer a wide variety, from simple plain designs to elaborately decorated ones, so you can select the tanzaku that best suits your artistic style and enhances your work.
The washi paper applied to the surface varies in characteristics, so the degree of ink bleeding differs slightly depending on whether it is for beginners or advanced users. Please choose according to these features.
