| 研究開始時の研究の概要 |
This project will investigate the relationship between Switzerland and the Empire of Japan during the “Long Second World War” (1931-1945) with the aim of writing a monograph on the topic. Using primary sources from archives in Switzerland, Japan, the UK, and the United States, the project will investigate issues of diplomacy, foreign policy, and economics to reconstruct the relationship between the two states during Japan’s fifteen years of armed conflict.

| 研究実績の概要 |
In FY 2022, I managed to obtain new documents and literature about Swiss-Japanese relations during WWII and create notes and a much deeper understanding of the bilateral relationship of the two countries. The document and data review process has proceeded well and I can now focus on creating the analysis of the of it and work on synthesising the emerging results in textual form. There still a few pieces missing, especially when it comes to Switzerland's censorship program during the 1940s, but I am hopeful I can resolve these questions in the next fiscal year. My exchange with Japanese researchers has in addition rendered new insights about the role of the diplomatic counterparts of the Swiss legation in Tokyo and Karuizawa, which is an unexpected development, but a welcome insight. I will have to do some more research on some key Japanese diplomats, which might render more insights about the way the Gaimusho perceived Swiss legation and maybe also protected against other agencies like the Kempeitai. This hypothesis will take up some more time for me to follow up.

3: やや遅れている
理由
I have yet to find materials about Switzerland's censorship and if there were any connections to the Japanese Empire or not. But I hope that I can answer these last questions in the last FY of the project and then write the manuscript of the book as planned.

| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
The research this year should be going well as I will mainly need to create the book manuscript from the information already gathered and reviewed. I have to solve some more questions that I would like to further research in Swiss and Japanese archives but even if no documents can be found, I will be able to draw conclusions based on the available materials.
