Foreword

 

The sixth of its annual publication, the “DRC Annual Report” has the purpose of presenting to the general public the outputs of researchers’ efforts, coming in two volumes, Japanese and English versions.

The themes are chosen at the researchers’ discretion, and the contents represent authors’ opinions, not the official view of DRC.

The readers are invited to participate in further discussions.
