Answer: Poems. -art was just as important as military skills if a samurai wanted to be a good leader in peacetime. Japanese poets often wrote about the sadness of rejected love, or the beauty of nature. Haiku was the most popular form of poetry.

Explanation: Hopefully this helps you. (don't know if this is the right answer hopefully it is)
