I am a historian of ancient Japan and currently a senior lecturer at Károli Gáspár University, Department of Japanese Studies (Budapest, Hungary). My research focuses on ancient Japanese cultural history and archaeology (3-8th century), and I am particularly interested in Chinese and Korean influences on Japanese tomb murals. For about 15 years now, I have been also working on an interdisciplinary research on the "Four Gods belief" (四神思想), examining its origin and development in East Asia, focusing in particular on its artistic, cultural, social and political-ideological development in ancient, medieval, early-modern and modern Japan. I have published in both English, Japanese and Hungarian as a researcher and translator.
