> Studies for This Year
The primary objectives for this year will be to establish the search database of the Kawasaki Kue-en (1873-1961, professional Noh performer) collection. We will also investigate the Yoshida-Bunko library in Niigata, and will make a library catalog of the Tôgô Yoshida (1864-1918, professor of Waseda university) collection. For the study of Noh scripts, we will continue preparatory work to publish “Shinpen-Yôkyoku-Taikan”(the New corpse of Noh scripts).

> Research Plans for This Year
In this year we will complete the database of the Kawasaki Kue-en Collection. This database will not only be a library catalog, but also a search database to help studying musical scores of Noh.
The investigation of the Yoshida Bunko Library is scheduled for three-four times visits. When it is finished, we will begin to prepare the data for a library catalog of the Yoshida collection.
The preparatory work for “Shimpen Yôkyoku Taikan” is now in progress.
