1.Overview
The 2nd Tokyo Camii Archive Symposium “The Role of the Masjid in Islam and Tokyo Camii”
Date: October 31 (Friday) – November 2 (Sunday), 2025
Venue: Tokyo Camii & Diyanet Turkish Culture Center

When asked, “What is a Masjid (Mosque)” many people envision a building for prayer or a space where individuals who share the same faith gather. Historically, Masjids built in various regions have developed under the influence of different cultures and eras, playing a central role in Islamic societies. Moreover, Masjids are not merely places of worship; they also serve as centers for education and social activities, shaping the identity of the Muslim community.
In this second symposium, we will explore various aspects of the “Masjid,” including its political, artistic, cultural, and communal roles. By focusing on the intersection of Islam and Masjids from the past to the present, we aim to examine the following key issues together with our participants.
