Current Research Interests

3D Modeling with Shrine Mapping in Kyoto City

  1. Humanities GIS in Southeast Asia, particularly in Hanoi, Vietnam, and Ayutthaya, Thailand

  3. Resource sharing for historical information in area studies and meta data management

Temple Survey in Ubon Rachatani in Thailand

For more or less two decades, the major topic in my research has been the application of informatics to historical studies, particularly of the early modern period in Japan. My recent research focuses on the application of geo-informatics to historical, cultural, and archaeological studies with emphasis on Southeast Asia. As can be seen from the utilization of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) in such studies, geo-informatics is already being actively incorporated into advanced research. However, the case studies, experiences, and research results that are currently available are insufficient.
Since these circumstance are important for both area studies and informatics, the aim of my research is to work to creating and building up a new discipline - Area Informatics - which explores regional dynamics through synthetic and holistic approaches based on geo-informatics in area studies.
