Current Status of Research Progress |
Current Status of Research Progress
4: Progress in research has been delayed.
Reason
The project has been severely delayed for several years due to the COVID-19 pandemics that prevented me to leave Japan to collect material in the archives. However, after three years, I was finally able to go to France to conduct my research and find the material I needed for my research.

Strategy for Future Research Activity |
I have already sent an article analyzing my findings that will be published in early 2025 in a an edited volume on Japan, China and Europe. I am also currently finishing editing a volume on Stanislas Julien's letters that he sent to China in the 1830s. The volume will be published by my university in 2024.

Causes of Carryover |
In 2023, I did not use any funds from my research project.
