Photography攝影
For nearly thirty years, another way of seeing has run alongside the research. Nine seasonal series — Harugasumi, Aoarashi, Kōyō, Yukiakari, Shiosai, Sansui, Machi, Ginen, and Xpan — keeping the light of every walk on film. 研究と並走してきた、もう一つの眼差し。九つの季節。
The garden becomes a book, turned one page at a time — the seasons revolving within it, its light and shadow kept.

Social policy, comparative welfare, research methods — abstract theory turned into something you can actually understand and use.

Essays隨筆
Essays and commentary from outside the research — on society, on a single lamp at a street corner, on the things that never made it into a paper yet were never quite set down. 研究の外側の、随筆と評論。街角の灯のこと。
A night stall lights up, steam rising — a single life, still going on. Writing is the little warmth kept for it.
