that sounds really interesting---congratulations. I should love to read your findings.
I have many books and dvd's about the japanese wars and on their society which I find fascinating. also books with illustrations of their wonderful crafts.
My japanese friend believes that everything has its own God, that is why she is passionate about Nature. Gets upset if plants are neglected, or even a broken cup--coming from the clay. Also ancestors are important.
