Kasuga kaishi is a collection of poems composed at poetry gatherings by the head priests and monks of Kasuga Shrine and Kôfuku-ji Temple in Nara. This work contains three poems composed by the monk Gakusen of Kôfuku-ji Temple sometime before 1244 (Kangen 2). The back of the paper bears the inscription Man'yôshû (E., Collection of Ten Thousand Leaves) copied by Nakatomi Sukesada (1198-1269), who used it as scrap paper for calligraphy. A line in the center of the work reveals that it was in the form of a booklet at the time the calligraphy was done.
