Nōsakusho（1925）Explanations of Nō plays: a vade mecum for spectators of Nō plays, Nōgakukai, Tokyo [EN]
- 9In the 38th year of Meiji, the Nōgaku-bungaku-kenkyūkai (Society for the study of the Nō literature) made a discovery of 16 volumes, a legacy of Kwanze Seami; one of these contains a writing called the Nōsakusho explaining the manner of composition of the Nō play, and thus it became plain that in order to compose the Nō play, it is necessary that one should be well acquainted with the principles of music and form as well as with the artistic aspect of the play.
