• In 1942 a set of sixty 78rpm discs documenting the most authentic traditions in Japanese music was privately issued by the cultural organisation Kokusai Bunka Shinko-kai. Due to the war and neglect few copies survive but now the restoration of the anthology is underway

• Second volume of the KBS recordings features Noh theatre masters, many of whom had been trained by artists active before the Meiji (1868) period

• An essay and texts in both English and Japanese translation are included on the CD as PDF files and may also be printed
