Okamura also published, somewhat earlier:

Chonosuke Okamura, 1980, Period of the Far Eastern minicreatures:  Original
Report of the Okamura Fossil Laboratory, No. 14, p. 165-346.

Okamura reported finding, in thin-sections of the Nagaiwa limestone, a wide
range of vertebrate remains, including fish, amphibians, reptiles
(particularly dragons), and mammals (including, among other things, dogs,
cats, horses, cattle, pigs, and a moose), all on the order of a few mm in
length.  Particularly interesting are his hominid fossils, divided into
protominiman and miniman.  The latter are associated with tools,  artifacts,
and clothing, on the basis of which Okamura analyzes miniman intelligence
and culture.  The report is profusely illustrated.

I'm not making this up.  The report is apparently available in the library
of the U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park, California, the source of my
photocopy.
