1980年5月20日第一刷発行の井筒俊彦は《イスラーム哲学の原像》(岩波新書)を通じてスーフィズムの哲学的-神秘主義的な側面に光をあてた. 
しかし、個人の精神的営みであると同時に、スーフィズムは日本の芸道や武士道、少年漫画で描かれる師弟関係にも通じる修行の世界であり、時にはオスマン帝国、トルコの政権をはじめとしたイスラーム世界を動かす政治思想運動でもある.本書はトルコで教鞭執る著者が、思想、修行法から、食、武術、音楽をも射程におさめ、よく生きるための '実践の道' としてのスーフィズムを解説する.

An Islamic Japan? with Dr Naoki Yamamoto

The Thinking Muslim

Japan is a country that is known for its deep connection with tradition. Much of its rich culture comes from its adherence to two religious beliefs, Shintoism and Buddhism but it has also been influenced by Confucianism. The Japanese value purity and cleanliness. Unlike western individualism, Japanese culture places a great deal of attention on the group and mutual respect with a strong emphasis on harmony and balance. Although globalisation has brought with it westernisation, there is still an emphasis on learning Japanese customs at an early age, such as practicing the tea ceremony, wearing kimono and studying arts and crafts. 

Our guest today, Dr Naoki Yamamoto converted to Islam 14 years ago. He is now an academic at Istanbul’s Marmara University and helps a growing number of Japanese converts acclimatise to their Islamic commitments. Many of whom attend classes in this city. 

Dr Naoki argues that for Islam to be successful in Japan, it needs to work in harmony with Japanese culture. Indeed he is known in Istanbul for demonstrating the tea ceremony. We discuss Muslim converts in Japan and the themes he raises of cultural harmony and Islam. Can Islam adopt the cultural heritage of Japan?
