I am planning on doing a paper on Japan's lost decade. Can anybody recommend me how to approach this subject, and provide me with some good, reputable sources I could use? Thank you in advance for your help.

Bearing in mind that this was a paper I worked on approximately 6 years ago... Unfortunately, I was not able to find a copy of the paper (it's probably somewhere back on my dad's old Desktop PC), but fishing through my old e-mails I was able to find a list of sources that I would've used back then:

Additionally, here is a preliminary outline that I followed. It was a group project, but if I remember correctly, I did most of the work :)
The banking system in Japan in the 1980s and 1990s
Regulations, differences between US/Japan.
Policies/practices
Structure of the banking system
Keiretsu
History of Keiretsu, include Zaibatsu, post-war Japan
Development of Keiretsu (embedded in society?)
Government policy contributions to the Crisis
Bankruptcy and Anti-trust laws
Business policies, accounting standards
Economic Contributions
Real estate devaluation
Nikkei 225 bust, bubble collapse
Slowing Economic growth, declining credit ratings
Large companies default, bankruptcy
Dependence on banks, not capital
Conclusion:
How the Keiretsu played an integral role in the Japanese banking crisis.
