Specialized Field(s) Japanese history
Current Research Themes I am studying reforms of the bakuhan system of the middle to late early-modern period. Following the Tōhoku Earthquake and Tsunami I began gathering historical material about previous earthquakes and tsunami in an effort to put the information to use in disaster prevention. Recently, in cooperation with local governments, I have begun to investigate old documents concerning the shinobi (ninja) of Iga and Kōga.
