Reseach overview
My current research project considers why and how rural space came to be depicted as a haunted site of horror through the combination of ethnographic and modern literary practices in the works of such authors as Izumi Kyōka, M. R. James, and H. P. Lovecraft. I am also interested in Hinatsu Kōnosuke and the history of the Gothic as a particular kind of translation strategy in modern Japan.
