According to the zoho kaiteiban (1997-nendo) of Tanikawa Yoshio's 
_Shinario Bunken_ (a rather complete list of what scripts have been 
published where), the original Japanese script of _Ugetsu_ was published 
in the following sources:

1. Kinema Junpo 163 (1956)--a special edition on the 10 best postwar 
screenplays
2. Eiga Hyoron 1953.2
3. Eiga Hyoron 1969.8
4. Nenkan daihyo shinario shu 1953
5. Yoda Yoshikata shinario shu, vol. 1 (Eijinsha)

Hope one of this is at a library near you.
