new book out: パチンコ四部作完結編 コリントゲーム史 (Pachinko tetralogy final edition: CORINTHIAN game history)

Kazuo Sugiyama, who runs the Birth of Pachinko Museum, has released a new book on the Corinthian game in Japan!

パチンコ四部作完結編　コリントゲーム史 (Pachinko tetralogy final edition Corinthian game history)

A bunch of my research is referenced throughout the book!

Prior game-related books publications from Kazuo Sugiyama:

• 2022: Cultural History of Things and Humans 188 Rolling Balls (ものと人間の文化史 188 玉ころがし by 杉山 一夫)
• 2021: Cultural History of Things and Humans: PACHINKO (ものと人間の文化史 186: パチンコ by 杉山 一夫)
• 2008: Birth of Pachinko - Entertainment in the Century of Cinema (パチンコ誕生―シネマの世紀の大衆娯楽)
  

He also released 2 ebooks in 2014, but I do not think there is anything in these ebooks that are not more robustly covered in his 4 published books.

• 2014: 戦前からあった台湾のパチンコ (Taiwanese pachinko that existed before the war) [ebook]
• 2014: コリントゲームと人生劇場 コリントゲームシリーズ (Corinthian Games and Theater of Life Corinthian Games Series) [ebook]
