Research Interests

Colloquial style literary art of the Chinese Ming dynasty (focusing on Shuihu Zhuan or Water Margin). I conduct research on the process by which stories as well as the relationship with the ideas of the people in the background are constructed and modified. Recently, I have been interested specifically in how Shuihu Zhuan was incorporated into the literary arts and the customs of Japan and Taiwan.
