Some pertinent scholarly works

Anything by Mikael Adolphson. Seriously. But probably start with The Teeth and Claws of the Buddha. He debunks some major stereotypes about Japanese religion in his historical writing. The Gates of Power is his major work.

Mark Teeuwen and Fabio Rambelli (eds.) Buddhas and Kami in Japan: Honji Suijaku as a Combinatory Paradigm


(Also helpful: an online Japanese/English dictionary!)

I will be updating this continually! Any help and suggestions will also be appreciated.
