This study considers the mechanism of the haiku innovation in the Meiji era. In the innovation, haiku was positioned as modern literature. This analysis is based on neocybernetics, i.e., constructivist systems theory; more concretely, fundamental informatics is employed as a theoretical framework. Haiku poets, haiku-societies, haiku mass media and other systems are regarded as hierarchical autonomous communication systems or HACS. As a result of analyses, the haiku innovation is understood as processes of various systems' co-evolution and birth, against a backdrop of the social change in the late 19th century Japan. In the analysis, relationships between systems are also considered in detail.
