Over the past few years, I have been accumulating more and more books on Japanese cinema. While my own interests are predominately in what is termed the "samurai" genre outside of Japan, I have been buying books on other genres and aspects of Japan's cinema as well. Here is a list of my "collection" of books, in case anyone else might be interested.
