Ten Kinds of Monkeys - Enou Jishū

...For example, the Onoe Kikugorou family (Otowaya) had ghost story kyogen plays such as "Yotsuya Kaidan" and "The Peony Lantern," as well as a collection of dance pieces called "Ten Kinds of New and Old Theatre," while the Sawamura Sojuro family (Kinokuniniya) had a collection of Japanese arts called "Ten Kinds of Koga." These include the "Eight Kinds of Kogeki" from the Ichikawa Danzo family, the "Ten Kinds of Kyoka Plays" selected by Ichikawa Sadanji II, the "Yodo-gime Collection" that Nakamura Utaemon V was good at, the "Kako Collection" that Ichimura Uzaemon XV was good at, the "Ten Kinds of Shuzan" created by Nakamura Kichiemon I for the role of Kato Kiyomasa, the "Ten Kinds of Saruo" created by Ichikawa Ennosuke II, the "Twelve Kinds of Ganjiro" from the Kamigata line created by Nakamura Ganjiro I, and the "Twelve Kinds of Kataoka" from the Kataoka Nizaemon family (see table). There are uncertainties in the repertoire that can be enumerated, and only a limited number can be performed today.
