17H06346, comparative phenomenology of face and corporeal expression, This research "Comparative Phenomenology of Face and Body Expression" was conducted as part of the planned research project in the new academic field of "Face-Body Studies n in Transcultural Situations: Faces and Body Expression connecting Multiple Cultures. We conducted an interdisciplinary study of faces and body expressions from the viewpoints of cultural difference, transculturality, and cross-cultural understanding, and provided the philosophical and theoretical foundations for establishing this as a new academic field. The project team took the lead in publishing "Handbook of Face Body Studies" (University of Tokyo Press) to systematize the theoretical foundation of "Face-Body Studies," and published an international journal called Philosophy and Cultural Embodiment. We created ethical standards for research on corporeality, and actively conducted outreach activities called "Face-Body Cafe".

16H03346, Phenomenological Research on vulnerability and limitation of human being based on collaboration with Nordic phenomenologists, This project based on collaboration with Nordic phenomenologists was intended to focus on the vulnerability and the limitations of human beings and phenomenologically investigate concrete problems such as birth, aging, illness, death, disability, pain, sex and gender. Every year we had collaborative meetings with Nordic phenomenologists, sent two or three members to the annual conference of the Nordic Society for Phenomenology and organized two round tables at the World Congress of Philosophy in Beijing 2018. Also we organized domestic meetings totally ten times, made mutual exchange of opinions on each result of research and edited a report (unpublished), so that we could began a negotiation with a publisher about a possibility to publish a book in the near future.

16H03338, A Study on the Promotion of Gender Equality and Support for Early Career Researchers in Philosophy from Theoretical and Practical Standpoints, Even though the percentage has increased in recent years, women still comprise only about ten percent of the over 1400 members of the Philosophical Association of Japan;this demonstrates that certain factors obstruct women's participation in philosophy as an academic discipline. We have been actively tackling various issues related to both gender-equality promotion and support for early career researchers. We administered questionnaire on these issues. Based on the new survey's results, we held discussions from a variety of perspectives to share "facts". We invited Dr. Joe Morrison, the director of British Philosophical Association, and learnt the“Good Practice Scheme”which has a considerable equality-related intellectual background in UK. We organised a number of workshops with British Philosophical Association, Tohoku Philosophical Association, Nishinihon Philosophical Association, Science Philosophy Association, Hokkaido Philosophical Association and Hiroshima University etc.

26770013, New dimension of French Phenomenology and its developement, This research aimed at reevaluating the philosophical meaning of French phenomenological thought, especially of the thought which comes from so-called "theological turn". It contributed to clarifying the possibility to elaborate French phenomenology which tends to fall into the abstraction, by tackling the question to what extent it ranges. More concretely, based on Emmanuel Levinas' later thought, it elucidated its similarities and difference with contemporary ethics and political philosophies in the spheres of gender, family, and responsibility.

19KK0003, Phenomenological Research of Child Care: Taking a field of Neuvola in Finland, This project was intended to phenomenologically investigate the philosophical problems of child care based on field work at Neuvola (support center of delivery and child care) in Finland with Finnish phenomenologists. However, due to the pandemic of Covid-19 we were continually forced to abandon our flight and field work, so we could not help extending our research period. Hoping to visit within the last year, we shifted the weight on literature research and aimed to publish the collected papers “Phenomenology of Child Care”. In the middle of March 2023 we finally carried out the research trip and included its report in the papers published online 28. April.

19K00040, Comprehensive Reexamination of Levinas' Philosophy and Construction of an International Research Network, The purpose of this study was to reexamine comprehensively the philosophy of French philosopher Emmanuel Levinas through research and analysis of new materials and to build an international research network in order to disseminate its research findings widely throughout the world. The research results were made public through an international symposium “Singular and Universal: Emmanuel Levinas and Far Eastern Thought” held in 2019 at Tokyo and Kyoto and annual conferences organized by the Levinas Society. Throughout the three years of the project, these research results have contributed not only to philosophy and ethics, but also to research in adjacent fields.

JP19K12931, Emmanuel Levinas' Phenomenology of Gender and Family, By continuously rereading Levinas's texts and drafts and reappraising them in relation to various French phenomenological texts of the 1940s-1960s, this study reappraises the phenomenological analysis of gender difference and family in Levinas's philosophy as interconnected within the phenomenological tradition.;This study achieved the second objective of reevaluating the philosophical significance of Levinas's theories of gender difference and family, the former in comparison with contemporary gender theory and feminist philosophy, and the latter in comparison with contemporary family ethics and anti-natalism debates.
