Japanese Cinema" book by Stuart Galbraith IV, Taschen (hardback, 2009).
Documents both old and recent Japanese movie history, with information and collections of still photos taken from the motion pictures.
"Until recently, the Western world has views Japanese cinema through a very narrow prism. For years, Westerners interested in Japanese film had to content themselves with the collected works of Akira Kurosawa, a spotty sampling of films by Kenji Mizoguchi and Yasujiro Ozu, gobs of anime, and badly dubbed monster movies." ... "This volume sets the record straight, illustrating an in-depth history of Japanese cinema with vivid posters and stunning photography."
