Noh Links:
From the master list maintained by Prof. M. Watson at Meijigakuin University
in Tokyo, here are most of the translations into western languages of the
various Noh plays.
Check-list of translations of Noh plays in alphabetical order. Includes all
253 plays in the current repertoire, together with bangai plays that have
been translated. As macrons cannot be used on a page containing kanji,
titles containing long vowels are given twice, thus: Kan'yokyu (Kan'yookyuu).
French and German diacriticals are also omitted.
List now covers only translations in some of the more famous collections of
noh plays in English, French (Peri, Renondeau, Sieffert, Godel and Kano); and
German (Zachert, Weber-Schaefer). Square brackets indicate partial translation
or summary. Other translations are gradually being added.
Elsewhere here, there is a list of
253 plays in the traditional order. For Japanese titles alone in aiueo
order, see title
list (Kanze school). Japanese scholars are collaborating to create
electronic texts of the Japanese originals. As of March 2001 over 200 texts are
available, with the rest soon to follow. See UTAHI.
Translations of noh plays
Refer to bibliography below for full titles of noh
collections. Romanization with oo / uu for long vowels is given in parentheses.
Some other variations--by no means all those possible--have also been added.
