“Japan’s Relation with Muslim Asia touches on important points in Japan’s strategies toward Muslim-majoritystates in different dimensions, its ‘unique’ approach to the securitization of Islam may not be clear. The book is an attemptto add a new and fresh perspective to the existing literature. Its diverse, multi-language references will open many paths for furtherresearch on this topic. … this book is a must-have for anyone interested in Japanese-Muslim relations.” (Mustafa Onur Yalçın, Insight Turkey, Vol. 23 (2), 2021)
