Akira Ifukube (伊福部昭) Violin Sonata

Hello,

I know it is highly unlikely to find scores of non-Western music around here. But I am really interested in Ifukube's Violin Sonata. I was wondering if anyone's has the sheet music for it - or if they know where I could find it. I haven't found anything on the Internet so my last hope - and guess - would be to get it from some place in Japan.

I would be extremely grateful for your help.
Thankyou

Composer died in 2006, so unless someone can get explicit permission from the estate it can't be posted here as it's under copyright in virtually the entire world. Sheetmusicplus doesn't appear to have anything of his, and Prestoclassical stocks a handful of things but not this work; however, WorldCat does list a few libraries that hold this score, so it might be possible to get some kind of access to it even if you can't find anywhere to buy it.
