The Nishiguchi Lab studies German literature, focusing on the Grimms' fairy tales. In recent years, the lab has been particularly interested in how the Grimms' fairy tales have been received in Japan, using illustrations as a clue. On the early reception in Japan, the lab focused on how illustrations depicted the figures, either in kimono or in European dress, and compiled the results in a German-language academic book. At the Faculty of Science and Engineering, the professor teaches German as well as courses such as Introduction to German-Language Culture.

The Noda Lab specializes in Émile Zola, a French writer of the late 19th century. Its main object of analysis is the space depicted in novels. The lab has deepened its study of the urban landscapes of Paris in Les Rougon-Macquart, drawing on the novels' process of composition and on historical research. It is now also interested in the provincial towns, the provinces, movement and transportation, and architecture depicted in Zola's novels.

In particular, the lab is interested in innovation and entrepreneurship in aging societies. The lab studies the process of creating innovation that contributes to solving social issues, using the functions of "entrepreneurship" and "catalysts" as clues. On the adoption and diffusion of innovation aimed at older adults, the lab conducts joint research with researchers in Germany, comparing Japan and Germany.

The Mitomo Lab's main research area is the economic analysis of information and communications. The lab originally studied transport economics, and it considers that transport and communications have much in common in terms of their economic characteristics. Alongside theoretical analysis of communication fees and externalities, the lab studies the impact that the development of information technology has on many aspects of society. The lab empirically studies how new information and communication technologies can be used to make things such as distance education and telemedicine possible.
Wenlu Wang, Lecturer (Tenure Track)
0 student voices
The Wang Lab's main research field is the history of Christianity in China from the 16th century onward. Using methodologies such as history, intellectual history, bibliography, and comparative literature, the lab studies how doctrine was translated into Chinese and received as both scholarly and religious knowledge in China. From the perspective of global history, the lab also studies the intellectual exchange between Asia and Europe through missionaries as intermediaries. Recently, the lab has also taken up digital humanities, a field that combines the humanities and information science, and studies the structuring and use of text data that conforms to international standards.
Yuanbao Xiong, Professor

The Xiong Lab studies the society, economy, law, and culture of China from the 16th to the 20th century, with a particular focus on the Huizhou region. The lab has explored how the structure of traditional Chinese society was formed and how it changed over time. Using village landscapes, human connections, and social conflicts such as disputes and litigation as clues, the lab examines the mechanisms and principles that maintained order within society, as well as the interaction between the state and society. Recently, the lab has focused mainly on the urban structure of Beijing in the 18th to 20th centuries, from the perspectives of technology, institutions, and the social economy.
