| Outline of Research at the Start |
This project's goal is a digital text corpus of Zeami's critical writings, with a focus on his first and most famous text Fushikaden, and their analysis using computational methods. The corpus will include not only transcriptions of historical manuscripts to digitally model their genealogy but also Yoshida Togo's first print publication and Nose Asaji's first annotated edition for an analysis of Zeami's modern reception. A critical evaluation of the results achieved during this fellowship will inform further consideration for building a digital scholarly edition of Fushikaden.
|
| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
This project's goal is to digitize a base text of all Zeami’s critical writings and to collate digital transcriptions of the text witnesses specifically for Fushikaden with a digitization of the first annotated and commented publication of that text by Nose Asaji. A critical evaluation of the resulting corpus of digital texts and of the insights gleaned in its production will inform further consideration for building a digital scholarly edition of Fushikaden.

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
I commenced with manually digitizing the base text of Zeami’s Fushikaden as printed in Omote Akira’s standard edition in the Nihon Shiso Taikei anthology for the first research paper about agency as a characteristic of gender performances. For that paper, I compared findings in my digitization with the machine analysis of the UTAHI digital corpus of noh scripts, including plays no longer in the repertoire. Maintenance of metadata for the noh plays has required careful evaluations of the plays, including cross-checking reference materials and research on play authorship. I am currently writing the first paper.

| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
To conclude the first stage, I will analyze the texts digitized thus far to understand the modern reception history of Zeami’s critical writings. At the Yoshida Memorial Museum in Niigata I will consult material about Yoshida Togo’s editorial work on Zeami’s writings. In the second stage, my primary focus will shift to the collection, transcription, correction, and collation of the manuscript facsimiles of Fushikaden making use of the Hosei University archives and the rich resources available at various Japanese archives and private collections. These transcriptions will then be analyzed, and their characteristics compared with conventional text genealogies. At this stage, I will need to travel to archives in Nara and Kansai to consult original documents and meet with scholars there.
