Thrilled to share that my first peer-reviewed article has been published in the @FHRjournal ! It revisits the conventional explanation that wartime Japan’ inflation was precipitated by scarcity.

The article is open access.

Take-aways:
Scarcity was not the only cause of Japan’s wartime domestic inflation. It stemmed from diverse factors, including debt financing that outpaced the nation’s production capacity and the influx of colonial currencies.

Although draconian currency controls were introduced in January 1945, they paralysed almost all transactions within the empire, and eventually led to the collapse of the yen bloc.

@NDLJP This post is the first in a series exploring the potential of the NDL digital collection for historical research, with more to come soon!

[Brian Wong @Brianthwong]

Happy to share that my second blog post for Digital Orientalist has been published. It shows that @NDLJP's digital collection is an effective tool for unearthing the lives of little-known figures such as Peter Kugimiya Iwao ペートル釘宮磐, a lifelong Orthodox Christian

[Digital Orientalist @DigiOrientalist]

In the first part of three articles, @EdinburghUni’s Tsz Ho (Brian) Wong explores how to use @NDLJP’s digital collections to reconstruct the biographies of little known historical figures. #digitalhumanities #history #historicalfigures #Japan @NDLJP_en
