Masaoka Shiki (1867-1902) is often listed as the last of the haiku masters, following Basho, Buson, and Issa. Still, Shiki remains distinct in his modernist approach, taking influence from Western writers and artists while reflecting changes within his own society.
In his Outline of Haikai, Shiki stresses “copying things as they are,” foreshadowing Imagism’s “direct treatment of the thing.” In the same text, Shiki writes about the importance of combining “reverie (kūsō) and realism (shajitsu),” allowing for a kind of reflective minimalism - sketches, both exterior and interior.
