[4] If any are inclined to delve still more deeply into any of these topics, they will find farther references in the books in the lists, especially in “Things Japanese.” And the most complete treatment of this subject is found in Wenckstern’s “Bibliography of Japan.” Poole’s Index is also valuable.
