Anthology of Vocal Music - Seikyokuruisan

Japanese: 声曲類纂 - せいきょくるいさん

A text on Japanese music. Written by Saito Gesshin in 1847 and illustrated by Hasegawa Setsutei. Divided into volumes according to the names of Japanese musical scales, it consists of five volumes and six books: Miya (2 books), Shang, Kaku, Cho, and Hane. It was later expanded and corrected as Shokyoku Ruisan Houi, and later expanded in 1889 as Shokyoku Ruisan Zoho. It contains the history, genealogy, composers, and pieces of vocal music from the Edo period, with a focus on joruri. It is too brief on Edo Nagauta, and jiuta and sokyoku are almost entirely ignored, but it is the largest music text of its kind from the Edo period in terms of the wealth of articles it contains.

日本音楽の文献。弘化4 (1847) 年斎藤月岑 (げっしん) 著。長谷川雪堤画。日本の音階名によって巻を分け，宮 (2冊) ，商，角，徴，羽の5巻6冊から成る。その後増補訂正した『声曲類纂補遺』および 1889年後人の増補による『声曲類纂増補』がある。浄瑠璃を中心とした江戸時代の声曲に関する歴史，系譜，作者，曲目などを収める。江戸長唄に関しては簡略に過ぎるし，地歌箏曲などはほとんど無視されているが，記事の豊富な点では江戸時代の類書中最大の音楽文献といえる。
