Current Research Themes My research focuses on Genji monogatari, Konjaku monogatarishū, Tsurezuregusa, and other classics, and I am also interested in the culture of dreams. Currently, I am engaged in a team research project titled “Solid “Impermanence”/Fragile “Impermanence”: The Transmogrification of the Classics and Future Prospects” to consider new angles for exploring the international and contemporary possibilities of classic culture. The project explores the international and contemporary possibilities of classical culture.
