The life of poet Masaoka Shiki in modern Meiji Era (1868-1912) was worlds a part from the life of poet Matsuo Basho in the pre-modern Tokugawa Era (1600-1868), Although Matsuo Basho, Yosa Buson, Kobayashi Issa and Shiki are considered to be the most significant haiku poets, only Basho and Shiki are known as reformers who passed on new poetry aesthetics and techniques to their disciples.

Masaoka Shiki was born in 1867, a pivotal time in the history of Japan and its life. Japanese Intellectuals and college students were lapping up the chance to read literature and poetry from Britain, France, Prussia, Russia and the USA. Shiki became interested in the study of literature as a student of the Imperial University, which is now the University of Tokyo. Once he contracted tuberculosis, he quit the university, and began to write critiques on haiku and tanka for a major newspaper as a critic. He also wrote haiku and tanka from his bed until his death. His ability to formulate his own theory for writing haiku grew out of his desire to make reforms before these genres lost their relevance and immediacy; otherwise, the popularity of Western poetry styles would have predominated.

Shiki's reputation is often misunderstood for several reasons. First of all, Japanese and Western poets tend to connect Shiki's style only to his realistic observance of nature, which he named "sketch from life" (shasei). Secondly, poets have over-reacted to Shiki's criticism of Basho. Such a way of looking at Shiki ignores his intentions and overall contribution.
