Kiyomoto-bushi is a style of narrative music traditionally performed as accompaniment for Kabuki theater. Alongside Tokiwazu- and Tomimoto-bushi, it belongs to the Bungo-bushi lineage of joruri narrative music and emerged out of Tomimoto-bushi as an independent style unto itself in the Bunka period (1804-1818). Known for its lighthearted and sophisticated storytelling, Kiyomoto-bushi has gained widespread popularity and includes numerous iconic pieces for Kabuki dance.

In addition to Kiyomoto-bushi Shohon, the collection also includes Shohon for Nagauta, Gidayu-bushi, and Tomimoto-bushi, making a total of 8,455 lyric booklets (Shohon) now available for viewing.
