Lady Kasa
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."The entranced eroticism of her poems to Yakamochi were imitated by the great women poets of the 9th and 10th centuries, notably Izmi Shikibu and Ono no Komachi."

Gasa (poetry)
Gasa (or Kasa) was a form of poetry popular during the Joseon Dynasty in Korea. Gasas were commonly sung, and were popular among yangban women. Jeong Cheol, a poet of the 16th century, is regarded as having perfected the form, which consisted of parallel lines, each broken into two four-syllable units. The form had first emerged during the Goryeo period.
