- There is a Chinese reference work which seems to be quit exhaustiv:
- Riben Xingming Cidian (Lexicon of Japanese Surnames and Names)
- Commersial Press, Shanghai, 1982 (by Shi Jun)
- This 1600 pages book contains 70.000 Surnames and 40.000 Names; it
- is arranged according the Kanji (first stroke number then bushoo)
- Each entry hase kanji --- hiragana --- romaji.
- It was not very expensive RMB 6.- which is roughly US$ 1.- (but I am
- afraid, it is no more availabel; hopefully one might find it in some
- libraries).
-
- With best regards
