There seems to be a surge in interest in Scandinavian knitting in Japanese books, or maybe it's that I'm attuned to it. This is my latest find.
北欧のニットこものたち
Knitted Accessories from Scandinavia
by 嶋田 俊之 (著)
88 pages
ISBN 4-529-04140-9
All in Japanese, including the table of contents.

I got this book recently and love it. I find it very inspirational. The only problem is that I don't read Japanese. I'm trying to figure out the patterns from the diagrams. I'll be interested in if you make anything from it as I think you'll get further on the instructions. Enjoy!
