Hello!
A sedoka is another ancient Japanese poem of three lines with nineteen syllables in total (5-7-7). It is mostly written in pairs to form a Katauta with a total of six lines divided into two sets. It has a total of thirty-eight syllables (19+19). Katauta are also called love poems and deal mostly with emotions. The presentation is such that the two sedokas act like a dialogue between each lover and form a conversation. They can contradict each other or form a question and answer together.
