The composition and translation of tanka in English begins at the end of the nineteenth century in England and the United States. Translations into English of classic Japanese tanka (traditionally known as waka) date back at least to the 1865 translation of the classic Ogura Hyakunin Isshu (c. early 13th century); an early publication of originally English tanka dates to 1899.

Ordinarily I would oppose the word "waka" (和歌, "Japanese-language poetry") being applied to English poems, but it actually seems like a very interesting idea to expand this article to discuss the more notable/verifiable phenomenon of translation of waka/tanka into English, so it seems appropriate. Kudos!
