Katakana Project Final

ひらがな         カタカナ

せんりゅうお       アジアジン
れんしゅすればは     たくさんいます 
せんしゅです       せかいには


がくせいも        ベットがすき
せんせいになる      クラスがきらい
おなじひと        がくせいは


たべものと        いろりろな
のみものがすき      スポーツがある
にんげんは        アメリカに


Katakana words were mainly used as nouns. Although some of the words like Bed and Class can be substituted with words in Hiragana, the Katakana, or English words, give the effect that a foreigner wrote the Senryu. It is almost like a fusion of two cultures as well as that of languages. The modern use of these words give a fresh impression in the traditional Senryu format.

  1. おもしろい! Really interesting that you had a hiragana focus and katakana focus. This really showed the difference in using hiragana and katakana, that is, the feelings and impressions that come from simply choosing one or the other.

    (Btw, I think you're missing a tenten on the ト of ベット)

  2. にんげんのはいくと がくせいのはいくが だいすきです。

    These two are my favorite because they are simple yet revealing of fundamental, natural truths about the subjects.
