Dr. Peter Kornicki, Cambridge University, aggregates extensive bibliographies for researchers. While art history is not the main focus, there are some art historical publications and many excellent materials for context.

Mark Schumacher authors an extensive website regarding all aspects of Japanese art, particularly Buddhist sculpture. This is not a university-hosted website such as I typically share with students. Instead, it is the remarkable and reliable work by an independent scholar, who after earning an MA in Japanese studies at Johns Hopkins University, has spent more than 20 years in Japan studying Japanese art history, visiting countless temples and other locations rich with primary sources and examples of Japanese art history. This link is to a page particular to Buddhist sculpture of the Asuka age, however one can visit the "parent" or home page and link to many other resources. I strongly urge everyone to visit this website.
