I did my PhD thesis on Shimazaki Tôson, so I'm actually quite familiar with Yanagita. He did some pioneering work in collecting old Japanese tales. Have you read "Tales of Old Japan" a collection by A. B. Miford?
Is there some clearing house for copyrighted material, where I can find out if it is still in copyright? The originals are more than a 100 years old, but obviously copyrights can be renewed.
