| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
Transcriptions of select manuscripts of Zeami’s Fushikaden were continued.
Dr. McGaughey presented on her transcription techniques and shared ideas with representatives in the field of text markup at the annual Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) “Text as Data” Conference. At the Virtual Humboldt Colloquium in November, she presented statistics about the digitized manuscripts. A workshop with Dr. Elisa Beshero-Bondar on XSLT transformation at the annual Digital Humanities conference helped her refine the requirements for the transcription and create preliminary mock-ups for making the data available online to an audience who is not tech-savvy. She also presented her findings on indicators of gendered agency in noh plays at the German Academic International Network (GAIN) conference in Bonn, Germany.
We negotiated with Toppan Solution to digitize Nose Asaji’s first annotated edition of Zeami’s writings using their in-house state-of-the-art OCR.

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
Transcriptions of select manuscripts of Zeami’s Fushikaden, including the oldest good copy available in the Ikoma Hozanji Collection, the oldest good copy in the Kanze archive, and an annotated copy also in the Kanze archive, are progressing well.

| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
In the final months of the fellowship, Dr. McGaughey is continuing to transcribe manuscripts of Zeami’s writings and refining her results about indicators of gendered agency in noh plays as she continues to write up her dicsoveries. We hope to receive the digitization of Nose Asaji’s edition before she leaves and will continue to analyze the results and include them in reports of her findings.
