Biography
Lady Kasa (笠女郎, Kasa no Iratsume) was a Japanese female waka poet of the early 8th century.
Little is known of her except what is preserved in her 29 surviving poems in the Man'yōshū; all these were love poems addressed to her lover Ōtomo no Yakamochi who compiled the Man'yōshū (and who is known to have had at least 14 other lovers and have broken up with her). Nonetheless, her love poems made her famous and inspired a later generation of female poets like Izumi Shikibu or Ono no Komachi.
Poetry
wa ga yado no | In the loneliness of my heart | |
