research summary

I have been researching Japanese right-wing historical revisionism and related ideologies for many years. In other words, my research focuses on postwar Japanese society. In addition, because my research is related to the issue of "comfort women," I have also been involved in feminist and postcolonial debates for a long time.

Research and Education Policy

Rather than confining one research topic to a single topic, I always strive to conduct original research that has the potential for development.

Degrees Obtained

Completed doctoral program at Kansai University Graduate School of Sociology (PhD in Sociology)

Message

In the grand flow of "human wisdom," each researcher can only be involved in a small part of it for a short time. Let's enjoy research together with the goal of contributing to it.
