Research Interest
Heian and Kamakura court diaries by men and women, especially the intersections in treatment of seasonal rites & ceremonies, material culture, and issues of self-depiction. A recent focus is the important role of garments - weaves, dyes, layering schemes - in Heian and Kamakura narratives. Also of interest are the representation of inter- and intra-generational ties between women, particularly in terms of their social, court, and familial positions in the late Heian and early Kamakura periods.
