> Studies for This Year
The roots of the present Kabuki can be found in the Gidayu Kyogen and the play scripts of Kabuki, performed in Osaka at the end of 18th century and the early 19th century . Our research focused on Kabuki play scripts of this period and on analyzing their contents.
This year we are planning to do research on materials on Gidayu Kabuki which can be found at the Department for Japanese Language at the Faculty of Letters of the University of Tokyo, in the Ikeda Archive in Osaka, the Osaka Prefectural Nakanoshima Library, the University of Kyoto and at Kansai Shochiku.
