I have continued to develop my book manuscript on the history of life insurance in Japan. I have become particularly interested in how discourses of mutual assistance or mutual aid functioned within this larger process of commodifying and governing. Life insurance often presents itself as a modern successor to the "ko" of premodern Japan or the kye of premodern Korea. Yet, there are always debates about how and to what degree mutual assistance is supposed to function. In the industries’ early period, for example, there is a significant debate about whether mutual or stock companies represent the best means of protecting consumers. These debates continue in the formation of the state-run postal life insurance system, in the colonies, and during the wartime period.

我继续撰写有关日本人寿保险史的书稿。我对互助或互助话语如何在这个更大的商品化和治理过程中发挥作用特别感兴趣。人寿保险通常将自己描述为前现代日本“ko”或前现代韩国“kye”的现代继承者。然而，关于互助应该如何以及在多大程度上发挥作用始终存在争议。例如，在该行业的早期阶段，关于共同公司还是股份公司是否代表保护消费者的最佳手段存在着激烈的争论。这些争论在殖民地和战时时期国营邮政人寿保险系统的形成过程中仍在继续。
