About

I am a historian of premodern Japan and currently a Yanai Initiative Postdoctoral Fellow and Lecturer with the Department of Asian Languages & Cultures at UCLA. My research focuses on metal caster organizations from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries and their relationships with elite institutions. I also work on documentary forgery production and socioeconomic networks during Japan’s late medieval period. I am interested in digital humanities and the use of digital tools to analyze premodern historical sources.
