I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the field of Japanese Studies, to the Japan International Cooperation Agency, and to the International Research Center for Japanese Studies (Uehiro Research Division), for the invaluable experience I had in March 2026.
During this period, I had the honor of joining as an official researcher on the Japanese Economy and Society. This opportunity allowed me to contribute through scientific work while deepening my understanding of Japan’s history, modernization, culture, and economic development, supported by an exceptional academic and professional community.
Since my first arrival in Japan in 2018, I have built meaningful relationships and continuously strengthened my understanding of this remarkable society. My goal is to contribute to Japanese society through research, collaboration, and knowledge exchange.
I am deeply grateful to my Japanese friends, families, colleagues, staff, professors, and experts. Without their support, my progress would not have been possible.
