This paper explores Haiku making gathering called kukai. There exist around 800 haiku groups in which Haiku authors make Haiku. Haiku group called kessha is hierarchically structured and an interesting object to be examined using an analytical concept "legitimate peripheral participation" proposed by Rave and Wenger. Kukai is an excellent opportunity for newcomer to observe aesthetics, power structure, and relationships between members. There are two types of kukai in a Haiku group J, of which I have carried out fieldwork. The first type is the headquarters kukai, in which around 40 members taka part. This kukai reproduces the power structure of the group and not very good space to carry out legitimate peripheral participation. The second type is branch kukai consists of around 10 to 15 participants. There are enough time for participants to discuss each Haiku of the participants. For this reason, this type kukai is more appropriate for newcomers' legitimate peripheral participation. These two types are, however, necessary for Haiku group J since the first type reproduces hierarchical power structure of the group, and the second one offers space in which participants including newcomers to internalize the aesthetics of the group.
