Shimogakari Noh Chant Collections shimogakarishuuitaiseiutai下掛拾遺大成謡（したかけしゅういたいせいうたい）

1691 Japanese Handwritten Noh Play Theater Mask Demons Warrior Japan Shimogakari

An interesting Edo woodblock-print of 'Noh Chant Collections' from the early 17th century. Noh chants were adopted from Buddhist prayers and went with the musical background of Noh plays, which to this day is one of the most important performing arts in Japan. Noh plays borrowed from other arts with masks, music, and even structure. A normal Noh piece has five plays, god, warrior, woman, living person, and demon, which are all grouped into three dramatic units.

This rare four volume collection from 1691 is written in a column handwritten format with furigana usage for easier reading!
