http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_food\n\nThat is an extensive page about the Japanese cuisine, as well as background on the art. Some famous Japanese dishes, as said in the site, are:\n\nDeep-Fried dishes (Agemono)\n\n    * Korokke (croquette) - breaded and deep-fried balls of mashed potato with creamy vegetable, seafood, or meat-flavored fillings.\n    * Kushiage - meat deep fried on a skewer.\n    * Tempura - battered and deep-fried vegetables, seafood, and meat.\n    * Tonkatsu - deep-fried breaded cutlet of pork (chicken versions called chicken katsu).\nDonburi\n\nA one-bowl dish of hot steamed rice with various savory toppings\n\n    * Katsudon - deep-fried breaded cutlet of pork (tonkatsudon), chicken (chicken katsudon) or fish (e.g., magurodon)\n    * Oyakodon - (Parent and Child) Usually chicken and egg but sometimes salmon and salmon roe\n    * Gyūdon - seasoned beef\n    * Tempuradon - battered, deep fried bite-sized foods\nGrilled and pan-fried dishes (Yakimono)\n\n    * Gyoza - Chinese dumplings (potstickers), usually filled with pork and vegetables\n    * Hamachi Kama - grilled yellow tail tuna jaw and cheek bone\n    * Kushiyaki - meat and vegetable kebabs\n    * Okonomiyaki - pan-fried batter cakes with various savory toppings (see also Okonomiyaki restaurants)\n    * Omu-Raisu - i.e. "omelette rice", a fried ketchup-flavored rice sandwiched with a thinly spread beaten egg or covered with a plain egg omelette\n    * Omu-Soba - an omelette with yakisoba as its filling\n    * Takoyaki - a spherical, fried dumpling of batter with a piece of octopus inside\n    * Teriyaki - grilled, broiled, or pan-fried meat, fish, chicken or vegetables glazed with a sweetened soy sauce\n    * Unagi, including kabayaki - grilled and flavored eel\n    * Yakisoba - Japanese style fried noodles\n    * Yakitori - chicken kebabs\nNabemono (one pot cooking)\n\n    * Sukiyaki - mixture of noodles, thinly sliced beef, egg and vegetables boiled in a special sauce made of fish broth, soy sauce, sugar and sake\n    * Shabu-shabu - noodles, vegetables and shrimp or thinly sliced beef boiled in a thin stock and dipped in a soy or sesame sauce before eating\n    * Motsunabe - cow intestine, hakusai (bok choi) and various vegetables are cooked in a light soup base\n    * Kimuchinabe - similar to motsunabe, except with a kimuchi base and using thinly sliced pork.

When I started taking Japanese in college a few years ago, I thought the textbook we were using was not very helpful. I needed something that explained what we were learning a lot better, so I started looking for supplements online. \n\nhttp://yesjapan.com/ helped me a lot in the beginning. A few semesters in, I outgrew it, but it was invaluable before then. I highly recommend it. Check out the George and Keiko show, too. It's a fun way to get more Japanese exposure.\n\nI also ran across this, but I never got around to trying it. Their games are fun, though. http://www.jp-lesson.jp/jp/courseTop.html\n\nHere are a few of the free sites I found and used:\n\nhttp://genki.yousei-ziploc.com/main.php\n\nhttp://www.learn-japanese.info/\n\nhttp://www.learn-japanese.net/webpages/1/\n\nhttp://www.japaneselearning.com/index.php?option=content&task=category&sectionid=2&id=8&Itemid=27\n\nhttp://www.thejapanesepage.com/articles.php?cat_id=7\n\nhttp://www.freejapaneselessons.com/\n\nhttp://www.japanippon.com/japanese/classroom.htm\n\nhttp://www.ajalt.org/sj/\n\nhttp://home.inter.net/kenbutler/cyber.html\n\nhttp://www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/columns/0002/\n\nhttp://www.nhk.or.jp/lesson/\n\nhttp://www.kanachart.com/\n\nhttp://kana.gerke-preussner.de/\n\nhttp://www.kanjisite.com/\n\nhttp://www.nuthatch.com/java/kanjicards/\n\nhttp://www.chuobunkyo.jp/japanese.php?lang=en\n\n\nAnd that's just the beginning of my bookmarks... ;)

Try google.com...in both web and images..\n\nAs example...Google will give u a good reference....e.g.\n1.  Azhar b. Hj. Mad Aros, “Pendudukan Jepun di Tanah Melayu 1941-1945:  Satu Kajian Mengenai Bibliografi  (Japanese Occumpation in Malaya 1941-1945:  A Short Research on Bibliografi).  Jurnal Malaysia dari segi sejarah, Bil. 27-1999 pg. 1-10.\n\nThen u could go to UM library to search for the Journal...\n\nHope
