References & Resources Part B

REFERENCE RESOURCES Part B

Alphabetical from Festivals to World War II

The following list of references is by no means intended to be comprehensive. These are merely some of the books I have in my own collection (approximately 300 of the more than 500 I own) which are listed here to give you a potential resource for a certain topic. I have used each on of these books at one time or another during the time I have been fascinated with Japan and all things Japanese - which stretch back to a brief visit when I was about 15 years old. That age for me is farther back in history than I care to admit. However, it does explain some of the unique and odd books I have acquired over the years from various books sales, yard sales, trips to Japan and donations from too many persons or libraries to be able to remember of thank individually. If you have other sources that would perhaps be of interest to visitors to this web site, please contact me and I will add additional resource information - crediting you with the additions.

Sincerely

Michael J. Peterson
