Outline of Final Research Achievements

We completed "the empire of censorship " (新曜社) in August, 2014. In this book we investigated the difference of the censorship system between Japan and the Korean Peninsula, and researched how the double system has changed in the postwar scene. We made clear that the system supplemented it mutually. In February, 2016, "an empire of the censorship" for Hangul Alphabet was published in Korea. In commemoration of this, we held an international conference in front of five editors and writer, translator of the Korean side, graduate students in Seoul on March 26. It was greatly taken up with each Korean newspaper by a book review, and there was a big reaction.
