I have The Art of Japanese Joinery by Kiyosi Seike piblished by Weatherhill which seems pretty compehensive and still seems to be readily available new and, no doubt, used. Haven't seen any others so I have no idea whether there are better books on the subject.

I have the art of japanese joinery, it's good but really it is more of a carpentry book than a cabinet making one, there are some amazing joints in there but it's almost useless unless you build houses using large 4x4 timbers, there are some interesting details on how they build sliding doors as well but it's not actually that useful.
