Lady Ise

Lady Ise (伊勢 or 伊勢の御息所 "Ise no miyasudokoro" (c. 875–c. 938) [http://digital.library.upenn.edu/women/_generate/authors-I.html] ) was a female Japanese poet in the Imperial court's waka tradition. Her grandfather Ōnakatomi no Yoshinobu was also an important waka poet. She was born the Fujiwara no Tsugikage of Ise, and eventually became the lover of the Prince Atsuyoshi and a concubine to Emperor Uda; her son by him was Prince Yuki-Akari.pg 141 of "Woman poets of Japan", 1977, Kenneth Rexroth, Ikuko Atsumi, ISBN 0-8112-0820-6; previously published as "The Burning Heart" by The Seabury Press.]

Her poems were emblematic of the changing styles of the time, and 173 [http://www.ahapoetry.com/twamth1.htm] of them were included in the revolutionary "Kokin Wakashū".
