Japanese poetry written in Chinese is called Kanshi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanshi_(poetry)). It's still studied in Japanese high schools as part of kanbun (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanbun), which is basically the art of reading Chinese texts when you have (many of) the same characters but quite different grammar.
