Presentation
I am a Permanent Research Associate at the École pratique des hautes études and a Research Fellow at the Zen Institute of Komazawa University (Tokyo). My research centers on the religious culture of premodern China and covers a variety of topics, such as the historiography and the monasticism of Chan Buddhism, the acculturation of Chinese Chan in East Asia, the local Buddhist history of the Jiangnan region, and the development of digital tools for Dunhuang manuscript studies. My monograph in French entitled Chinese Chan Miscellanea: the 12th to 14th Centuries, as well as a co-edited volume in English and French, Chan Buddhism in Premodern China and Its Spread in East Asia, are forthcoming. I am currently working on a second book-length project on Buddhist monastic life under the Song-Yuan, and a translation in Japanese of the Arsenal of the Chan Master Dahui Pujue 大慧普覺禪師宗門武庫 with Ogawa Takashi and Didier Davin.
