Keywords：community care, psychiatry, disability, immigration administration asylum seeker

 I am interested in the relationship between the construction process of the subjectivities of the people concerned and the action of power toward the people with bodies who are separated from society and made invisible in a specific space, such as long-term patients of psychiatric hospitals and long-term foreign detainees of the asylum. In addition, since I am also a psychiatric social worker, I am currently examining the possibility of constructing a "flexible" community care system that "ensures that all people do not fall through the cracks" together with the people concerned and supporters by utilizing the network I have built through fieldwork.

Keywords：Sunflower family, within-species polymorphism, floral morphology, life history

I am interested in morphological and genetic diversity within species. In particular, I focus on the floral form and life history of Aster hispidus species complex and the closely related A. kantoensis (Sunflower family) in their native habitats. Recently I’ve been performing population genetic analyses, by which I try to reveal their diversification process in Japan.

Keywords：physical environment, transaction, human development

My academic interest is the transaction between people and physical environment. Especially I am interested in how the physical environment support human development.
Currently I am studying whether having private spaces in the house for married women with children support their autonomy, well-being, and self-realization.

Keywords：clothing psychology, clothing design and color studies, school uniform, psychological effect, FUKUIKU

I am studying what kind of image is formed when a person wears what kind of clothing, in what kind of place, and what kind of psychological and physiological effects it has on the wearer and those around them, from the perspectives of clothing psychology and clothing design and color science. Currently, I am clarifying the psychological effects of school uniforms on the wearer and the people around them, and how to apply these effects to FUKUIKU (education to nurture a rich mind through clothing).

Keywords：NAGAI Kafu, Originalité, “fads”, Japonisme, landscape descriptions

My research focuses on Kafu literature from the 1900s to the 1930s in the perspective of the formation of Originalité. I aｍ attempting to rethink the relationship between modern Japanese literature and Western language and culture by clarifying the ways in which Kafu, who focused on the aspects of a consuming society as seen in "fads," reexamined "fads" such as Japonisme and the suburbs in his own works. I am also studying the differences between Kafu's approach to "fads" and that of other contemporary writers, focusing on the description of landscapes and translation methods.

Keywords：Radio, Children, Storytelling, War Effort, Education

My study interest is in children’s radio programs from the start of Japanese broadcasting in 1925 to the end of the war in 1945. The research has focused on radio storytelling, analyzing elements of national indoctrination and expressions of war effort. I currently examine the position of children's programs on radio through the relationship between publicity and propaganda activities for the promotion of children's programs and war effort. As children's inner worlds are shaped by the words they hear, I am deeply interested in what adults tell children.

Keywords：Ancient Roman History, Late Antiquity, Roman Archaeology

The ancient Mediterranean world was one of societies where various cultures and people came and went. In particular, the Eastern Mediterranean region became a religiously pluralistic society, influenced not only by Hellenistic and Roman culture, but also by Persian and Islamic influence. The purpose of my research is to explore the religious diversity of the region from the Roman to the Islamic periods. I am particularly interested in the differences in religious transition between urban and rural areas and in the religious activities of women.
