Research Overview：

I have conducted a number of intensive field resaerches in Cambodia since the end of the 1990s. After published the monograph in Japanese about the reconfigration of rural communitis in the country (2011), I am making the concept of a new research based on the methodology of Area Informatics. In coming years, I would like to conduct researches of livelihoods and religious practice in communities in Cambodia and other countries in mainland Southeast Asia. By doing this, I try to explore the nature of human-nature interactions in this region for over hundred years.
