Research Overview：

Besides doing agricultural and rural development policy research through JICA, I have been doing a comparative study among Asia on how rural social structure formulated historically affacted the development path of each country/region. The former includes topics such as rice policy, rural credit policy, land policy, rubber industry development policy, and so on. The latter is a more comprehensive and foundamental research topic for me, which has been conducted through a Grant-in-Aid Project, targeting China, Korea, Taiwan, the philippines, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Indonesia, Myanmar, Bangladesh, India, by involving several researchers in Hokkaido University, Tohoku Univeristy, Aoyamagakuin University, Hiroshima Shudo Univeristy, etc. So far, we have obtained some important achievement on the Red River Delta of Vietnam and the ultimate purpose of the project as a whole is to show to the world academics a necessity of converting research paradigm on rural financial market and policy in developing countries. In the future, I am intending to develop the research to a bigger area study including China, mainland Southeast Asia and India, in which Japan should be rightly positioned.
