Reading List in Japanese History

by sinqbad

Going into research in Japanese studies next year. I'll be focusing on modern/post-modern Japanese aesthetics. Looking for a history reading list. I know a basic Japanese history like the eras and defining features of that era. I'm looking for an intellectual history of Japan, economics from Meiji onwards, "subaltern" histories and "modern girls" (moga)
