No idea - but you can always browse the list of books teaching Chinese
in Japanese on amazon.co.jp website

http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/tg/browse/-/503696/1/ref=br_lfsrt_/249-6061722-1481145?rank=%2Bdaterank&submit.x=8&submit.y=12&submit=Go%21

that'll get you started -- see user reviews there.

As for Kanji from the Japanese perspective, I wouldn't bother -- Kanji's 
basis is Chinese, and there's no reverse basis to look at Chinese 
(kanji) from Japanese really.  The process only went one way, not the 
reverse (ie. Japanese Kanji went back to China and added/changed Chinese 
writing).
You can definitely trace the changes in Chinese over the years as it has 
been used in Japanese, but again, those changes have no relevance to 
Chinese characters as they're used today.
