| Research Abstract |
The playbooks (Shoh-hon) and the exercise books (Keiko-bon) on Tokiwazu I have surveyed during the research period (1984-1986) are from Kagetsu-bunko at Ueda Municipal Library ( about 300 pieces ); the mogue on Japanese Music at Ueno Gakuin University (400); the private library of Mr Takeuchi Michitaka (400); Hohsa-bunko of Nagoya City (100); the library at Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music (100); Kuroki-bunko at Tokyo University (185); the library at Tokyo University (30); Kaga-bunko at Tokyo Metropolitan Central Library (100); Kanoh-bunko at Tohoku University(30) and my own collection (1,500).
A larger number of "Tamazawa Shinshichi" Edition are found to exist than we expected. Those printed in Edo are mostly published by Igaya Kanzaemon and Sakagawa Heiichiro who succeeded Kanzaemon. But more than half of the collected materials proved to be the Tamazawaya Edition. Since the publishing activities of Tamazawaya was found to have been done on a large scale, it is now necessary to reexamine the past studies on the publishers.
Besides, there are many unknown things about the publishing conditions of the Shoh-hons and Keiko-bons from these publishers ( e.g. the number of copies of one ballad, or the price and copyright of one piece ) and there remains several problems to be solved.
Moreover, the periods when these works were presented on the stage were not known, even after we referred to the secondary materials as "banzuke" ( programs ), so they must be solved in the near future.
Continuing to collect the secondary materials on Tokiwazu to construct as complete a collection of these materials as possible, I am thinking of giving the entire picture of Tokiwazu along with the studies on Tomimoto-bushi, Kiyomoto-bushi, Shinnai-bushi, and Nagauta following the same method used here, and consequently of making clear the historical significance of Hohgaku on the whole.
