Noh plays are made up of numerous segments, and waka is one name for these segments. Waka are typically sung right after dance segments. They are traditionally structured in 5-7-5-7-7, like waka (tanka), but there are exceptions. The first syllable of the waka may also be sung before the dance, depending on the type of waka.
