My current research looks at Japanese tanka poetry from a feminist perspective, putting an emphasis on recent creations of the postdigital era. I investigate three aspects: the mutuality of old form and new content; the potentials and limitations of political engagement; tanka poetry's cultural particularity and its transcultural flow.
