There is a set of 11 books of Minyo published by the Yonea (sp?)
group in Tokyo. Total of about 300 or so pieces of Minyo, written
in a fairly easy to decipher style of notation.
The books are available from Mejiro and, if you ask, Ms. Saori might
be able to tell you which book contains Tanko Bushi. A useful bit
of info if you don't read Japanese.
I've been trying for a couple of years to find someone with the time
and talent to translate the titles of all the songs. Meanwhile I
get my teacher to find individual pieces when I want to learn one.
