Sure you're not.

Incredibly broad question, I'm not sure exactly what you're after. The Cambridge history of Japan is good for sort of 1700s-present. If you want to read anything about pre 1700s Japan, you need to cross over into Chinese history, because that's before they split.

Hardly; anything post Heian is fairly unique to the Japanese experience. OP should consider reading Tokugawa Mitsukuni's Dai Nippon Shiki (History of Great Nippon) for a uniquely Japanese view of their history using traditional East Asian historiographical methods

Nope. Japanese and Chinese culture and history was uniform pre 1700s. Same rulers, language etc

Maybe this? More on the philosophical side.

In Praise of Shadows by Tanizaki is also good for this kind of stuff.

Same culture and history? 1700? You are shitting yourself there. You are basically saying that Cambridge printed three volumes of their Japan series too much.

Yes, it's superfluous seeing as they were a homogeneous people in name and culture prior to that time.
