In the framework of the DAMIN project my research is focused on the transition of the Japanese monetary system from its feudal past to modern analogs based on the Western models. I also develop the study of the Japanese monetary policy from the view of its domestic and international policy and political situation in the world, and particularly in the Far Eastern region in the second half of the 19th century.
The participation in DAMIN program provided a chance to organize the replication of the complete series of the proceedings of the Osaka Mint (Japan) in association with Georges Depeyrot (ENS, Paris), which provides a lot of important information for future research on the subject of Japanese monetary system in the second part of 19th – the begging of 20th century.
