My study theme is Chinese classical poetics, particularly Yan Yu's (嚴羽) Canglang Shihua (滄浪詩話). I aim to clarify the contemporary recognition of Song Dynasty poetry by way of researching the meaning of the category words used in the books of poetic theories.

My research field primarily focuses on studies related to Chinese language education. I am particularly interested in areas such as pronunciation teaching methods, conversation analysis, and grammar teaching methods. Additionally, I am concerned with the regional disparities in Chinese language education resources and the characteristics of Chinese language education in rural areas of Japan. Recently, I have been conducting research on the language and culture of ethnic minorities in China, specifically focusing on the culture and language of the Mongolian people.

My research interests focus on gender and sexuality in modern Chinese literature, particularly female author Ding Ling and Lu Yin.

My main areas of research are Chinese classical literature. I study the reception of media mixing in the classical literary arts. I particularly aim to clarify the process of how the history of Sanguozhi, commonly known in English as the Three Kingdoms, was novelized from many folk stories (including stories from modern Japanese subculture).
