日本史：从神话到国家/参考书目
如果你只想阅读更多关于日本历史的书籍，这里有一些好书。为了进一步阅读，维基百科上有一些不错的文章，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在这里。了解汉字的含义可能会很有用，这样你就可以从地名等地方获得一些字面含义。为了进一步阅读，我还建议你阅读维基教科书上的其他一些书籍，这些书籍与本书略有重叠，比如关于第二次世界大战的书，它对日本在更广阔的历史背景中的地位有更多背景信息。

令人惊讶的是，关于平安时代的英文资料非常匮乏。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入门点。早期平安时代资料尤其缺乏，主要是因为史料稀少，留给历史学家研究的东西很少。从平安中期开始，日记和其他形式的非官方写作开始出现，但这些内容直到这里涵盖的时间段快结束时才开始出现。对于早期平安时代，几乎所有信息都要从现存的官方记录中提取。
