Contrary to the common perception that haiku is a purely traditional form of poetry, Japanese poets achieved their modernist breakthrough by drawing simultaneously on the rich legacy of their own poetic tradition and on the poetics and visual arts of the contemporary world. As a result, the haiku as we know it today emerged from a fertile process of cultural exchange—one that brought together the aesthetics of the self and the other, distinctive local cultural traditions and a diversity of poetic forms.
