This research project set out to examine how practices and values cultivated in the feminized, private spheres of everyday lives shape the masculinized, public spaces and practices of political work in Japan to build an approach to gender equality that goes beyond “work-life balance” to revalue home in work itself. By revealing how practices and values that emerge from private, domestic, and intimate lives inform public policymaking processes, the project aimed to revalue what is often considered the feminine domains in work. The project aimed to provide a basis to propose alternative policies on gender equality.The project had to be terminated due to the principal researcher's relocation to an overseas research institution. Within the limited timeframe before the termination, however, the following outcomes were achieved:1)I conducted preliminary research with academics in universities, employing the innovative methodologies of graphic recording, photovoice interviews, and collaborative ethnographies. The preliminary research revealed the effectiveness of these methodologies and allowed me to build a foundation for methodologically innovative research.2)I published the results of the above research as blog articles, thereby facilitating the public dissemination of knowledge.3) I was invited to speak about the methodological innovations at the Australian National University Department of Anthropology's Method and Theory Workshop in 2021. I thereby contributed to the international knowledge sharing in the field of anthropology.

本研究项目旨在研究日本日常生活中女性化的私人领域中培养的实践和价值观如何塑造男性化的公共空间和政治工作实践，以建立一种超越“工作与生活平衡”的性别平等方法，重新评估工作本身的家庭价值。通过揭示来自私人、家庭和亲密生活的实践和价值观如何影响公共政策制定过程，该项目旨在重新评估通常被认为是工作中的女性领域。该项目旨在为提出关于两性平等的备选政策提供基础。由于首席研究员被调往海外研究机构，该项目不得不终止。然而，在终止前的有限时间内，我取得了以下成果：1)我与大学学者一起进行了初步研究，采用了图像记录，照片语音访谈和合作民族志的创新方法。初步的研究揭示了这些方法的有效性，并使我为方法论上的创新研究奠定了基础。2)我将上述研究成果以博客形式发表，便于知识的公开传播。3)我受邀于2021年在澳大利亚国立大学人类学系的方法与理论研讨会上发表关于方法论创新的演讲。因此，我为人类学领域的国际知识共享做出了贡献。
