SAITAMA – Records of a 30-year journey by a well-known researcher on Southeast Asia will soon be available to the public on a Web site operated by a research center at Saitama University.

He walked the beaches of Asia to meet people who freely crossed borders for production and trade, and to follow the distribution of local products, including bananas, shrimp and sea cucumbers.
