How about some old school stuff; I recommend James Clavell's Shogun and Gaijin novels. Shogun being the better of the two I thought. The author isn't Japanese of course, but still realistic and good reads.

They're good reads, I must say, but I'd take anything that's portrayed with a pinch of salt. Historical settings as perceived by a non-native and all. But still, I wouldn't say don't read them. I enjoyed Shogun a lot. :3
Anyone else read anything by Lafcadio Hearn, on that note? I read some of his observations, they're quite interesting!
