"Under the Sakura Tree" features different styles of waka, or Japanese poetry, from the well-known haiku (5-7-5 syllables per line) to tanka (5-7-5-7-7) to choka (alternate lines 5-7, last stanza 5-7-7). Nature shines through these simple words and artwork that accompanies them.
The heart is capable of kindness but also of cruelty. How far are you willing to go to get what you want? Will you disregard any of your morals or scruples? Who will you destroy in your path?
