"Japanese: People of the Three Treasures" by Robert Newman is an excellent, fast paced history of Japan from 552 BC to 1960 AD. The book explains the mythology of the Japanese sacred mirror, jewel, and sword treasures. I especially enjoyed reading about Japanese Zen Buddhism and Samurai beliefs and culture.
