| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
This year I was able to complete the final archival work in Hakodate, Sapporo, Yokohama and Niigata as well as present the findings of this project at several prominent international conferences (3 online and 1 in person). I have also published 2 articles/chapters (of which one is forthcoming) related to this project. The project has confirmed the validity of the approach of a micro-history of Japan's trade and in future I hope (whilst completing a book from this project) to extend this study to other ports besides Hakodate, tracing the roots of European and American firms to their home countries and other overseas locations as well as the links between activities in different Japanese treaty ports.
