My research deals with the philosophy and interpretation of Zen Buddhist writings, focusing on the thought of Japanese Zen master Dogen (13th century) and his successors. In addition, I deal with Japanese philosophy and aesthetics as formulated in short poetry.

 Another field of research that I have been working on in recent years is comparative philosophy, especially on issues related to language and ethics in the thought of East Asian Buddhism and medieval Judaism.

In addition, she deals with contemporary Confucian thought and the question of the possibility of applying and the relevance of missionary doctrines from different cultures at the present time.
