FYI: Asian History Carnival has some useful online resources

Since I don't think many of you are reading the great blogs on Chinese, Japanese, and Korean history at Frog in a Well, I just wanted to point out that the 13th installment their on-going series "Asian History Carnival" was just published here, this time hosted on the blog Munnin.

In addition to reviewing things recently published online (well worth a skim), this month's author has added a list of resources. I'm pasting highlights below, but please check out the original post for more.
