Japanese: 琴曲抄 - きんきょくしょう

A document on koto music and song suites. Titled "Kotokyokusho Shingumiryu." Two volumes in a horizontal script. Preface dated 1695 (Genroku 8) (possibly by Kinoshita Junan), colophon dated 1695. Contains 15 songs, including thirteen sets composed by Yatsuhashi Kengyo and two new songs in the new set. Notes on playing techniques are provided to the right of the lyrics, and simple annotations of the lyrics are provided after each song. Published in Kyoto by Umemura Yaemon and others. Reprinted in 1763 (Hōreki 13) and 1809 (Bunka 6). It became the model for later song suites, such as "Nadesō Gafushū," edited by Yasumura Kengyo in 1755 (Hōreki 5).
