This was the situation until the appearance of Masaoka Shiki (1867–1902), a reformer and revisionist who marks the end of hokku in a wider context.
Shiki's innovationist approach to haiku was carried on in Japan by his most prominent students, Hekigodō and Kyoshi.

The history of the modern haiku dates from Masaoka Shiki's reform, begun in 1892, which established haiku as a new independent poetic form.
