Ema Saiko (1787-1861) was a remarkably evocative poet, one of the few known woman writers of kanshi poems--verse written in classical Chinese but read as Japanese. Writing in this form, Saiko distinguished herself during the Tokugawa period, when composition in Chinese was largely a men's province.
