I think you can find most books over at
http://www.amazon.co.jp
you just have to try to get the the titles or author names in Japanese
and do a search. The last 3 are really the most common. But I know
that sometimes filling out the order page on Amazon.co.jp can be
really hard. Is there an online Japanese bookstore in your country?
They can order these books for you. In regards to Kan Shimosawa you
have to take his info at "face value"...some details are hard to trace
to a source and you have to make a judgment call on some of his
research. He represents a truly early attempt at gathering
information in this field (so his job was really difficult).
