Welcome to Res Japonica, a blog dedicated to Japanese international politics, with forays into culture, society, philosophy and literature. While pursuing Master’s degrees in Japanese studies and international politics, I have been writing down my thoughts, theories and observations for some time. Now I am transferring these writings to this blog.

This means that initially this blog will be dealing with the most immediate and current events only sporadically, because many writings date from the recent or even distant past. As time goes on, the writing will gradually become more closely tied to current events.
