Current research theme

I study the historical movement of the relationship between the economy and population and families in a post town and the surrounding villages. I also study the situation of childbirth, child-raising and working methods of women in the premodern Societies ,especially Tokugawa times, with a focus on the historical change in work–life balance.

Seminar

In my seminar, we study demography and the Japanese economic history. I hope the seminar gives students ‘a comfortable’ in Rissho University. The activities in this seminar include group reading, presentation and learning statistic methods. Every year, around the end of the summer holidays, we attend a summer training camp. We also plan to schedule excursions to corporate museums. Usually, in this seminar, we have individual research for Year-2 students, seminar conference for Year-3 students and thesis preparation for Year-4 students.
