Résumé anglais The article analyzes the ways in which citations are utilized in several plays from the time of Zeami (1363-1443). Citations had long been a key element of medieval Japanese poetry. By importing them into Noh, Zeami elevated it from a popular to a high art form, changing the composition of the audience to which it was addressed while at the same time contributing to the enhancement of the cultural status of the new audience. Moreover, the change of medium enabled Zeami to redefine the type of sources for the quotations, and not only to use classical modes of quoting but to introduce new ones that could use to advantage the length of play scripts and the metalanguages of the theater. His use of combined citations, vizualized metaphors, enacted allusions, reiterated, mis-remembered, dispersed, reconstructed and amplified quotations are examined in succession.
