Proceedings of the International Symposium Organized in December, 2023, by ACRI, 1/3


Over the past 100 years, mutual understanding between Japan and Turkey has significantly deepened. Nevertheless, persistent misunderstandings endure on both sides. These misperceptions and misunderstandings are predominantly fueled by the power of influential “images” and “representations” of each other’s countries found in various cultural expressions such as art, architecture, literature, and music. 

This book presents the culmination of the presentation and discussion from the first day of the international symposium "The Formation of the Relationship between Modern Japan and the Islamic World" organized on December 9, 2023, at TOYO University, which explored the Modern Japanese images concerning Turkey from various perspectives.
