There was a beautiful woman of Japan
who was never without her folding fan.
She seemed to play coy,
but it was a ploy.
Her saké breath could kill a caveman.

Beautiful limerick. I saw the rhyming lines. What are the rules for a Japanese Limerick?

The label “Japanese” refers to the subject matter being Japanese. So, there’s no difference between this one and other limericks.
Limericks are five-line poems in which the first, second, and fifth lines are relatively long and the third and fourth are shorter. The rhyme scheme is AABBA. (The shorter lines rhyming with each other, and the long lines with each other.)
