Nakamaru has mainly been studying Selma Lagerlöf and the reception of her works in Sweden, Germany and Japan. She is currently researching the motif of leg disabilities in Nordic and German Literature, examining people whom communities have often exclude. H. C. Andersen's 'The Little Mermaid' is a work of world literature that is important in transdisciplinary research and modelling for application in liberal arts education; as a JSPS collaborator, Nakamaru investigates mermaid (human-creature hybrid) motifs as symbolic representations of leg disabilities.
