in the mid~late1970s, I took several Japanese historical politics and 
economics courses at Universitaets Freiburg* when my National Guard unit 
was temporarily stationed there.  Their central library seemed to have 
copies of every Japanese-language book, tract, magazine, and research 
paper published since about 1870.  If you re close to that city, or the 
Asian Collection at Universitaets Heidelberg, spend a day and just 
wander the stacks.  The latter has books published on China and Japan 
going back to the 13th Century in nearly any European language that had 
a writing system.
