If you are interested in Shibayama-style inlay,
the abridged English translation in this book
would be very good to read!
If you are also interested in Japanese lacquerware,
I highly recommend The Book of Urushi that I
co-translated with Michael Brase (available at
Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, or Amazon.co.jp).
For details, please read my posts on its original
Japanese version and the English translation!
