This page contains links to Japanese art research resources (English and Japanese) and descriptions of print sources, libraries, and collections. A number of scholars maintain excellent websites with similar or more advanced resources, especially in their areas of expertise. I will provide links and descriptions of these as well. Please refer to the art history research page for general entry ways.
