The Construction of Database on Japanese-Islamic Relations : Development from pre-war Islamic studies to Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies after World War Two

本项目的目的是积极地重新评价日本二战前的伊斯兰教和穆斯林研究，将其作为战略研究，并特别关注二战前的伊斯兰研究和二战后的伊斯兰研究之间的连续性，而不是两者之间的间断。我们的研究成果概括如下：(1)收集和出版了1935-38年期间尾崎骏先生关于阿富汗的资料和文献。(2)制作了保存在早稻田大学中央图书馆的关于大日本穆斯林联盟摄影收藏的光盘，并出版了二战期间在土耳其安卡拉举行的关于日本对伊斯兰教政策的讲习班的记录，作为日本中东研究协会年鉴的特刊。(3)出版米利·贝拉克(Mukden)摄影集的DVD。1935-1945)，这是二战期间在满洲哈尔滨出版的一份鞑靼报纸。(4)将大川淑美的文章制作成数据库，发表在日本基督教协会Dokai所属的Michi(Way)杂志上。冈川是一位著名的伊斯兰研究学者，也是战时日本著名研究机构东亚经济研究局局长。

The objective of this project is to reevaluate positively Japanese studies of Islam and Muslims before World War II as strategic studies and also to pay a special attention to the continuity between Islamic studies before WWII and those after WWII, not the discontinuity between the two. Our research results are summarized as follows ; (1) the collection and publication of Mr. Ozaki's materials and documentations on Afghanistan during 1935-38.
