I continue to work in classical and medieval waka, but my current project involves how traditional Japanese literature and culture was practiced and deployed in the Ryukyu Kingdom both as pastime and diplomatic tool. Since 2009 I have been serving as a member of the University of the Ryukyu’s Management Council.
