Books on Japan

I received an email from a college student asking me to recommend books on Japan. Below are five books that I use for research and teaching. 

1. The African-American Encounter with Japan & China, Black Internationalism in Asia, 1895-1945 (Gallicchio)
2. African-American Views of the Japanese (Kearney)
3. Japan Rising (Pyle)
4. Japan's Reluctant Realism (Green)
5. Japanese the Manga Way (Lammers)
