Outline of Final Research Achievements

The Kai Kyo (maritime boundary) is a concept in analyzing the pre-modern “border” before the modern “boundary”. It is a space / sea area like the Asylum / Freedom: Muen in Japanese, characterized by “movement", "translation", and transnational "network". It is remarkable that governance power does not reach there because of its fluidity.
For a cosmopolitan theoretical consideration, this research will be divided into three case studies, 1: islands around the Japan Sea, 2: islands around the Pacific Ocean, 3: islands in the Southeast Asian seas.
