Oh, I could have used that information when I did the Christmas prompt for Touda. Where did you find it?

Bits here and there and there...
For the net sources mostly Wikipedia and Kids Web Japan.
Then I could give you the list of books I also used:
Tokyo (Editor: Tecniche nuove)
Giappone (Editor: Mondadori)
Giappone (Editor: Lonely planet)
Il Giappone a colpo d'occhio (Editor: Kappa edizioni)
Of the whole bunch the best is the last one because, while the previous 3 are mostly tourist guides, the last is more a 'let's explain you how Japan work' guide than a 'let's explain you what's to see in Japan' guide.
If they'll even translate it in your language suggest you to buy it!
It's simple and yet very useful!

Ah, I can recognise some Italian words from my faded memories of Latin, but it doesn't go as far as understanding sentences, let alone books. Kids Web Japan's new to me, though. Thanks for the link.

The last and best one's title can be losely translated as 'Japan at first blink'.
It's done in cooperation with Kodansha so it's rather good. Kids Web Japan is also good because it seems it's also done by Japaneses. They're the best sources.
