CONFIDENTIAL Summary Japanese organization for infiltration among Muslim minorities in Russia has been characterized by* 1, Patience and persistence over many years despite political changes, 2, Effective use of unofficial patriotic societies. 3, Coordination of work of those societies with that of military intelligence and the Foreign Office by means of interlocking personnel in Japan, 4, Reiteration with little change over several decades of a few propaganda themes, 5, Skillful agent penetration and recruitment of native personnel, 6, Merging of intelligence, subversion, and propaganda functions. The evidence available does not indicate that the results of the infiltration are of present military importance. Its chief value to the Japanese is in the field of intelligence. The material ir of value, however, for the pattern it gives of Japanese methods of espionage and subversion—methods which are currently being employed among bther groups and in other areas about which we know less. During the lent two years there has been a shift in overt Japanese activities among Muslims from the Anti-Soviet to the anti-British front. There is, however, as y^t no evidence that any permanent change in Japanese anti-Russian activities has taken place, CONFIDENTIAL CONFIDENTIAL TABLE OF CONTENTS Summary . I.

One phase of Japanese infiltration — that among the Muslim minorities of the Soviet Union —is presented here. The study has been made possible by Japan*s old but lively concern over the Russian borderlands and the self-glorifying publications of the Black Dragon Society. For more than forty years the Society, the dominating pressure group behind Japan’s Pan-Asiatic program, has been aggressive in espionage and subversion. 7»hile it veils with secrecy its living members and their activities, it generously publicizes and praises the patriotic deeds of expansionist-minded Japanese now dead. Since the Society first made a name for itself in anti-Russian activities,, they may be more successfully studied than those more recently initiated in other areasi Black Dragon publications have provided the bulk of the information for this paper.

The present article will outline the influence of this right wing secret society related to the preparation of the Russo-Japanese War at the home front and abroad. It will evaluate the actions by the members of the society and try to answer the question, how important a small right wing society could have been for the course of Japan’s foreign policy. 1.

The classical Ottoman mosque image has been reproduced in state-sponsored mosques throughout the second half of the twentieth century. Defining this particular design strategy as architectural mimicry, I discuss the emergence of this image through the negotiation between the nation- state and the ‘nationalist conservative’ discourse within the context of Cold War geopolitics. Comparing the Turkish case with the Islamic post-colonial world, I argue that the prevalence of architectural mimicry is related to the nostalgia it generates.

  • ISLAM in JAPAN HISTORY, SPREAD, and INSTITUTIONS in the COUNTRY by Prof
    ISLAM IN JAPAN HISTORY, SPREAD, AND INSTITUTIONS IN THE COUNTRY By Prof. Dr. Salih Mahdi S. Al Samarrai Chairman Islamic Center- Japan 2003 [email protected] 1 2 Introduction: The light of Islam emanated from the Arabian Peninsula and spread eastwards to Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Indian sub- continent, then to Malaysia and reached as far as China and Philippine. It continued spreading for a long time and reached different parts of the world but reached Japan only towards the end of the nineteenth century. In fact, Japanese, Muslims and non-Muslims alike, feel wonder why Islam was so delayed and did not reach Japan at the time it did reach to China and Philippine. In the present pamphlet, I would like to present a chronology of Islam in Japan, writing whatever information I have about each point in time, based on fifty years of my life which I spent in Japan and fifty years of research. The present work does not pretend to be exhaustive, but different writings on the subject will certainly provide a more comprehensive study. I hereby present my work, seeking the good pleasure of Almighty Allah. I pray to Allah (S.W.T.) for His Mercy and I beg my Muslim bothers for forgiveness. Dr. Salih Mahdi S. Al Samarrai Email: [email protected] 3 The Era before 1900: With the beginning of the era of Japanese Renaissance, known as the era of Meiji, started in 1868, only two countries in Asia enjoyed independence, namely the Ottoman Empire and Japan. As they both came under pressure from Western countries, they decided to establish friendly relations between them and consequently they started to exchange visits.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 2 Abstract Abstract This thesis considers the Chinese Blueshirts organisation from 1932 to 1938 in the context of Chiang Kaishek's attempts to unify and modernise China. It sets out the terms of comparison between the Blueshirts and Fascist organisations in Europe and Japan, indicating where there were similarities and differences of ideology and practice, as well as establishing links between them. It then analyses the reasons for the appeal of Fascist organisations and methods to Chiang Kaishek. Following an examination of global factors, the emergence of the Blueshirts from an internal point of view is considered. As well as assuming many of the characteristics of a Fascist organisation, especially according to the Japanese model and to some extent to the European model, the Blueshirts were in many ways typical of the power-cliques which were already an integral part of Chinese politics.

Introduction After the start of the twenty-first century, studying the relationship between Japan and Islam, including the study about “Japanese Policy toward Muslims（ 「回教 政策」）,” gets various results, including some from new source materials. There were some memoirs and interviews related to this policy, but these were, unfortunately, with the other source materials, both in Japanese and foreign languages. For a long time Japanese scholars have interest in this policy but hesitated to undertake aca- demic research for various reasons. However, Islamic studies recommenced after the war without any assessment of prior academic researches. Nowadays, although many source materials have disappeared, aggressive and corroborative studies have surfaced (see Misawa 2010). In this paper, we would like to introduce the new source material among the Japanese periodicals, in order to get more detailed information about Japanese relations with Islam before and during World War II.

  • Representing the Gaichi in Japanese Detective Fiction
    Representing the Gaichi in Japanese Detective Fiction by Aileen Marie Cruz A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Japanese language in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Daniel C. O’Neill Professor Alan Tansman Professor Donna Jones Spring 2014 Abstract Representing the Gaichi in Japanese Detective Fiction by Aileen Marie Cruz Doctor of Philosophy in Japanese Language University of California, Berkeley Professor Daniel O’Neill, Chair This dissertation examines the relationship between Japanese detective fiction and the territories under Japanese colonial rule, areas such as the South Seas, Korea, and Manchuria known collectively as the “outer territories” (gaichi), during the early 1930s. It analyzes the works of three detective fiction writers: Yumeno Kyȗsaku (1898-1936), Oguri Mushitarȏ (1901-1946), and Kim Nae-Seong (1909-1957). The colonial settings of their works have various functions. In Kyȗsaku’s work, these are largely domesticated through the use of tropes and recognizable images. Through these tropes and images, he depicts colonial space as a site where community is lost, but can be recuperated through the violence of suicide. On the other hand, Oguri’s work depicts colonial space as completely unfamiliar, not only through the descriptions of a contaminating, foul landscape, but also by utilizing the conventions of a locked room mystery. In doing so, Oguri challenges the scientific conceit of this subgenre of detective fiction, a conceit also present in the story’s inclusion of eugenics discourses. Kim Nae-Seong’s detective fiction differs from those of Oguri and Kyȗsaku by eliding the otherness of the colonial landscape.

  • MUSLIM INTELLECTUALS and JAPAN a Pan-Islamist Mediator, Abdurreshid Ibrahim
    13 MUSLIM INTELLECTUALS AND JAPAN A Pan-Islamist mediator, Abdurreshid Ibrahim Komatsu Hisao Since the end of the nineteenth century, especially after the Russo-Japanese War in 1904–1905, Muslim intellectuals began to take substantial interest in the emer- gence of modern Japan, and to develop a positive image of Japan and the Japanese people. In general, they supposed that Japan adopted Western civilization without abandoning its traditional culture, becoming one of the most developed countries in the world within a short period after the Meiji revolution. Of these Muslim intellectuals interested in Japan, Abdurreshid Ibrahim (1857–1944) was among the most outstanding.1 He not only introduced Japan and Japanese people in detail to the broad Turkic Muslim audience through his extensive travels, by means of his journal, Âlem-i ⁄slâm: Japonya1da intivar-ı ⁄slâmiyet [The World of Islam: The Spread of Islam in Japan],2 but also made efforts later in his life to establish a close relationship between the Muslim world and Japan based on his Pan-Islamic (⁄ttihad-ı ⁄slâm) ideology and strategy. This essay is a preliminary survey of his vision of modern Japan and aims to present basic information for further research on a comprehensive subject, Islam and Japan, the significance of which is clearly growing in the contemporary world. A leading Pan-Islamist in Russia We will begin with an overview of Ibrahim’s activities before his arrival in Japan in 1909.3 He was born in Tara, a city in the Tobol1sk governorate, Western Siberia. According to his autobiography, his Tatar family came from the descendants of Bukharans who had migrated from Central Asia to Western Siberia.

He also says: "The origin and spirit of Dawah is the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) to the Arabs: "Say, there is no but one God you will succeed". I have explained the examples of Sheikh Naymatullah's unique method in Dawah and translate it into several languages for the benefit of Ummah, seeking the pleasance's of Allah. 2 The Great Daii Sheikh Nimatullah (1) Who is Sheikh Nimatullah? Edited by Prof. Dr. Salih Mahdi Samarrai Chairman: Islamic Center Japan [email protected] Sheikh Nimatullah is of Turkish origin. He lived in Al- Madinah Al-Monawara (Saudi Arabia) for 15 years, and in Makkah as Imam of Jabal Al-Nour mosque inside Hira Mountain. Before that he was doing AZAN (prayer call) 3 in Sultan Ahmed Mosque, the largest mosque in Istanbul (Turkey). He was Imam in many mosques in Istanbul. He studied under many scholars who were contemporaries of the late Sultan Abdul Hamid. He visited more than 50 countries for Dawa. He made hundreds of pub goers in Europe to enter the mosques and become pious Muslims. With the permission of the Chinese government, he introduced into China 20 thousand copies of the Holy Qur’an in 1981.

Michigan Street END L A R The Scholastic Rasmussen Men's Shop South Bend's Best Dear Editor: Mr. Young writes a provocative and highly entertaining letter. Since his questions are sincere and Slacks since his opinions of the Blue Circle are shared by numerous students, he s > deserves an adequate answer; especially for when the SCHOLASTIC story was not concerned with the aura of synthetic mysticism which surrounds the circle. the The Circle is not the Notra Dame branch of the Black Dragon society and its meetings and activities are hardly clandestine rendezvous held in hollow smart trees. It meets every Monday evening in the rather prosaic Koom 100 of the Law Building at 6:30. Drop in and college see us, Mr. Young. If the Blue Circle is anything, it is, to use the high dictum of official Notre wardrobe Dame, "The operating unit of the Stu­ dent Council." Translated this means that the Circle is a group of honorary flunkies (there is no better Avord) who run the errands and sweep the floors after the Council hands down one of its monumental decisions.
