Basho
Haiku was developed in Japan over 400 years ago. It was popularized by the poet Matsuo Basho in the 1600s.
haiku and lyric poetry
Haiku is a traditional form of Japanese poetry that evolved from an earlier form known as renga. The modern form of haiku is often attributed to the poet Matsuo Basho, who popularized its structure and themes in the 17th century.
Masaoka Shiki is generally regarded as the major figure in the development of Haiku poetry. In the 1890's he broke the hokku from the tanka, enabling it to stand as its own poetic form. This independence marks the birth of the haiku and many scholars only consider a writer as a haiku poet if the work was written after Shiki's reform. As Shiki lived and wrote in Matsuyama, it's probable that Matsuyama is where haiku originated.
Basho, a great Japanese poet invented haikus. Masaoka Shiki discovered the Haiku in Japan in the 19th to 20th century. Haiku was an early form of court poetry having grammatical structure called wakka or tanka.
