Japanese
I. Texts:
KYGEN-KI [Collection of kygen]. Edo,1848. 15 books with 1 50 plays. illus.
This is a reprint of the 1699-1700 edition. Hence texts are those of the Izumi school.
KYGEN NIJU-BAN [Twenty kygen], ed. by Yaichi Haga. Shuchin meicho bunko. Tokyo, Fuzanbo, 1903. 2d ed.
The basis of Dr. Haga's texts is a manuscript of the Sagi school.
KYGEN ZENSHU [A complete collection of kygen], ed. by Nariyuki Koda. Tokyo, Hakubunkan, 1903. 3 v . illus.
Dr. Koda took the printed texts of 1699-1700 and 1730 of the Izumi school as the basis for this work, but he also had access to excellent manuscript texts of the kura school, in the possession of Zennosuke Yasuda. Therefore, when there was a difference in story or diction between two schools, he was able to give the texts of both. For this reason, this is the most satisfactory edition we now have for students of kygen.
KYGEN-KI [Collection of kygen] , ed. by Hachiro Nomura. Yuhodo bunko. Tokyo, 1917. 2 v., with 200 plays. illus., plates.
Texts are of the Izumi school. Besides the original 150 plays, the editor added 50 more which were collected from the 18th century sources.
KYGEN SHUSEI [Cyclopaedia of kygen], ed. by Kaizo Nonomura and Tsunejiro Ando, Tokyo, Shunyodo, 1931. illus., plates.
Of 734 interludes included in the present edition, strictly speaking there are only about 250 kygen. The rest are either slightly different versions of the old kygen or the later parodies of the NO plays. The texts in general are of the Izumi school, with a few from the Sagi and the kura schools.
