Dear Colleagues, I am excited to share that my most recent work 'Before the Storm: A Transrealm History of the Decades Leading Up to the First Mongol Invasion of Japan' was recently published at *Monumenta Nipponica *and might be of interest to some of you. https://muse.jhu.edu/issue/52088 It is part of my ongoing project trying to bring studies of Japanese and Chinese studies together through an overseas diplomatic scope. Looking forward to everyone's suggestions. From Lina Nie PhD Candidate of University of Southern California.
