comment
- My research focuses primarily on modern and contemporary Japanese literature, mainly from the perspective of intercultural acceptance. Since religious elements are often deeply intertwined with the foundations of culture, I am also interested in comparative studies of religiosity. Furthermore, having explored the reciprocal influence between research and education, I sometimes participate in Japanese language education.
