About this app

Tanka Poems is a quiet reading and listening space for sacred Japanese tanka poetry and prayer. READ SLOWLY Explore 84 tanka poems in English and romanized Japanese, presented with careful typography and serene photography from Japan. PRAY WITH THE BOOK Move through a source-faithful prayer collection in its intended order, rendered as clear native text rather than page scans. LISTEN YOUR WAY Choose Leonard, Rachel, Steven, or Lauren for four distinct spoken readings. Choose Warm or Reflective prayer delivery—or turn prayer audio off. Synchronized word highlighting follows the narration, and all audio is bundled for offline listening. A BOOK-LIKE READER Turn pages with graceful book motion, adjust text size and reading font, choose Light, Dark, or System appearance, search the collection, and save poems for later. BEGIN FREELY Amatsu Norito, The Lord’s Prayer, and three selected poems remain free. A single, restorable in-app purchase unlocks the complete poetry and prayer collection permanently. There is no subscription. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account or sign-in is required. Tanka Poems contains no advertising, cross-app tracking, or behavioral analytics. Your reading position, saved poems, and preferences remain on your device. Take a quiet moment. Read slowly. Listen closely.
