Japan - Reading List

[talkstowolves]

Since I'm currently living in Japan, I've decided to become more familiar with the Land of Wind and Ghosts from a mythological and anthropological perspective. My initial reading list on that is currently as follows:

Anthropology oriented:
The Anatomy of Dependence by Takeo Doi
The Anatomy of the Self: The Individual Versus Society by Takeo Doi
The Chrysanthemum and the Sword: Patterns of Japanese Culture by Ruth Benedict

Mythology/Fairy Tale oriented:
Handbook of Japanese Mythology by Michael Ashkenazi
Japanese Tales by Royall Tyler
Myths and Legends of Japan by F. Hadland Davis

Particularly on the Karyukai:
Geisha by Liza Crihfield Dalby
Geisha: A Life by Mineko Iwasaki

Suggestions of additional reading material welcome.
