| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
This research continues to go very well despite the obvious challenges posed by the pandemic. The Principal Investigator is nearing completion of a second solo-authored and peer-reviewed monograph on this topic. This book will be published with a major international press sometime in the next fiscal year of 2023.
Most significantly for this year the Principal Investigator was Guest Editor for a special edition of the Journal of World History on the global history of travel during the late nineteenth century. The Journal of World History is one of the most prestigious journals in the field. Besides being the Guest Editor of the special edition, the Principal Investigator also published the introduction article in this special edition.
The Principal Investigator has also continued to be heavily involved in researching about this topic, including visits to the Nichibunken International Research Center for Japanese Studies. He continues to find new opportunities to build on what he has been able to accomplish since beginning this grant in 2018. The publication of the second monograph will be a major milestone for the researcher. This grant has proven to be very beneficial in advancing the Principal Investigator's overall research agenda.

Current Status of Research Progress
1: Research has progressed more than it was originally planned.
Reason
Despite the obvious challenges of the pandemic, the Principal Investigator has continued to make good progress on the project, much more than originally planned. This will mean that within the next fiscal year the Principal Investigator will publish a second full monograph (peer-reviewed) in a major international academic publishing press book series.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
During the 2023 fiscal year the Principal Investigator will plan to finish writing up the manuscript for the aforementioned monograph. This book should appear in print either late in the 2023 calendar year or early in the 2024 calendar year. The Principal Investigator will continue to look for other opportunities during this year to share the results of his research in either written form or through public presentations.
|
| Causes of Carryover |
The 2023 fiscal year will be the final one for this project, but will continue to be crucial for research, as the Principal Investigator will be finishing the second book manuscript associated with this project. This could necessitate the need for the purchase of additional sources, books, journal articles. It may also involve some visits to libraries or research archives for consultation of important sources and documents needed for this process.
