Kojimamoto Toshibayamaha is like the Japanese equivalent of Fordchrysler Smithston
They take away my tiny little swiss army knife but the samurai gets to keep his katana? Unfair!
If I looked out the plane’s window and saw those buildings, I’d be weeping too

Is that all haikus are? 5-7-5? It makes no sense to me, there’s no rhyme, no art IMO.
Japanese can only end in ‘a’, ‘i’, ‘u’, ‘e’, ‘o’, or ‘n’. Rhyming in Japanese is boring because it has so few possible endings that tons of stuff rhymes. Haiku, tanka, and other forms exist with syllable*, rhythm, and even thematic rules instead.
IIRC, Anglo-Saxon poetry before the Norman conquest also wasn’t into rhyming.
* it’s technically not syllables but close enough for this usage.
