Japanese

A Japanese Language-Learning guide to resources

E-Books

Japanese Text Initiative 
Ebook collection of web texts of classical Japanese literature in Japanese characters. Contains only out-of-copyright editions, meant to serve as supplements to current scholarly editions for quick word-searching. In a few cases, e-texts have been newly edited for this website, and so can be considered authoritative texts. Examples can be found in the British Poetry category at the E-Text Center, as well as Kokinshu.

National Archives of Japan Digital Archives 
Online catalog of the National Archives of Japan with some online content. Includes maps, drawings, posters, photos, scrolls, and documents. 

National Diet Library Digital Library 
Digitized rare books, maps, classic texts, music recordings, and more.
