現在までの達成度 (区分)

3: やや遅れている

理由

The Covid19 crisis has slightly delayed this project. I have been unable to travel overseas for research. I have been visiting museums and conducting fieldwork in Japan in order to overcome this difficulty.

今後の研究の推進方策

Because of Covid19, I will continue to conduct research in Japan and give presentations at online conferences until I am able to travel abroad. My next conference presentation will be at the Asian Studies Conference Japan online conference in July.

次年度使用額が生じた理由

Next year I will make a video to promote the research that will be published on the project website. I will travel for research.
