    Profile

    • Profile

      The foundation of my research rests upon a fundamental question regarding the composition of historical narratives. Having experienced both life in the USA and Europe, one becomes acutely conscious of the prevailing tendency to craft the global narrative from their own vantage point. In essence, my research endeavors to illustrate that a portion of the historical discourse concerning Japan is, in reality, influenced by Western perspectives. The study of the pre-modern phenomenon of 'martyrdom' serves as a pertinent avenue for unveiling this phenomenon. Presently, I am delving deeper into exploring the broader implications of how history is both written and conceptualized.


      I am currently living in Kyoto, Japan, as the first researcher in the History of Christian Thought/History to be selected in the Hakubi project of Kyoto University.
