    I have Conrad Totman's "Tokugawa Ieyasu: Shogun", but off the top of my head I think that's it.

    Recently I borrowed a book from my library with old Japanese houses. I know these are not exaclty from the area, but I can`t see them chaging much in the country side. I took a bunch of digital photos and posted it at photobucket. I hope some of the modellers can use this data to create authentic looking buildings.Here

    Some examples:







    I also have the book "secrets of the samurai" I will take a few shots from that one too.

    EDIT; I stil have about 20 more to put up.. but I need to get to bed,, hope some of these help

    I actually have a couple photos of the sen-nen-ya, the oldest residential house in japan. I'll try and get them posted asap along with my pics of Himeji-jo, Kinkakuji, and some other places.
