日本史：从神话到民族/参考文献
如果你只是想了解更多日本历史，这里有一些不错的书籍。为了进一步阅读，维基百科上有一些不错的文章，可能值得一看。如果你对日本历史很感兴趣，或者只是想学习另一种语言，这里有一些不错的日语课程这里。了解汉字的含义可能就值得了，这样你就可以从地名等地方得到一些字面意思。为了进一步阅读，我还建议你访问维基教科书上的一些其他书籍，这些书籍与本书略有重叠，例如关于第二次世界大战的书籍，它对日本在更广泛的主题中历史上的地位有更多背景信息。

关于平安时代的英文资料出奇地少。大多数重要的文学作品已被翻译，可以作为了解贵族生活的切入点。早期平安时代资料尤其匮乏，主要是因为史料稀少，留给历史学家研究的东西很少。在平安中期以后，日记和其他非官方文字开始出现，但这些内容只出现在这里涵盖的时间段的末期。对于早期平安时代，几乎所有内容都依赖于从现存的官方记录中获取信息。
