Sarugaku dangi
Sarugaku-dangi（1925）Explanations of Nō plays: a vade mecum for spectators of Nō plays, Nōgakukai, Tokyo [EN]
- 9In the book called Sarugaku-dangi (one of the 16 volumes left by Seami), some plays are distinctly ascribed to Seami.
- 10Then the question arises as to the exact authorship of each play. Names of composers in the Sarugaku-dangi, the list of those mentioned in the works of Konparu Zenchiku and those mentioned by Kwanze Motoakira in the revised edition of Meiwa do not agree with one another. From these data, we may safely arrive at the conclusion that these plays are not spontaneous productions of one author.
