I had this great book when I lived in Japan and either left it there, or hid it away in storage so well that I can't find it again. It's a book about Japanese onomotopoeia (all those great words to describe feelings and sounds like zara zara and suru suru, etc), but I can't remember the title. If anyone knows this book, could you post the title?! Domo arigato!

Could it be:

Jazz Up Your Japanese With Onomatopoeia by Hiroko Fukuda?

If not, I found a webpage on Japanese onomatopoeia here:
http://web.mit.edu/anime/www/onomatopoeia.html

It lists two more books (e.g. Nihongo Pera Pera: A User's Guide to Japanese Onomatopoeia by Susan Millington), as well as numerous examples of onomatopoeia, and links to a couple of websites devoted to this very interesting topic.
