Our Adjunct Researcher, Takehiro Masutomo, was recently featured in the Financial Times. The newspaper published an in-depth and lengthy special report on the Run Ri phenomenon, the new wave of Chinese migration to Japan. In this feature, his book Run Ri was introduced with its cover image and described as a “revelatory work” and “the first serious probe of the Run-ri phenomenon as a socio-economic force.” This recognition is unprecedented for a Japanese nonfiction book that has not yet been translated into English, and highlights the global significance of this emerging mega-trend.
