Learning experiment with Shingon

What books should I collect to have a full understanding of the Shingon tradition ?
Are there any items that I should acquire in order to practice it independently ?
Or can it be practiced without ritual items ?

"Suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to enjoy. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life, and continue chanting Namu-myoho-renge-kyo. no matter what happens. How could this be anything other than the boundless joy of the Law? Strengthen your power of faith more than ever." - Nichiren Daishonin

Hi Ananda,
Unfortunately you can not acquire a full understanding of esoteric buddhist traditions from books or without a teacher but perhaps I've misunderstood your question. If you are interested in learning more of the historical and general doctrinal teachings of Shingon then there are a few books that might be of use and they're listed in this post: viewtopic.php?f=65&t=154
Best of luck.
