Dictionary of Sources of Classical Japan

The Dictionary of Sources of Classical Japan is a trilingual English, French, and Japanese dictionary of texts from pre-modern Japanese history and literature. Compiled under the auspices of the Historiographical Institute, the University of Tokyo (Shiryō hensan-jo), it consists of entries written and edited by some of the foremost scholars of pre-modern Japanese history and literature in the world today. This project is still a work in progress.
