How the Jewish community found a home in Japan – The Japan Times
Posted By admin on June 19, 2022
A surprise bestseller of the year 1970 was a book titled Nihonjin to Yudayajin (The Japanese and the Jews). It brought international fame to an author until then unknown Isaiah Ben-Dasan.
He introduces himself: a Jew born in Kobe and therefore at home in both Judaism and the religion he called Nihonkyo (Nihonism). Japanese as he saw it was more than a nationality, more than a language, more than a culture. It was all those in one, and greater than the sum of its parts. It was a culture-religion, or religion-culture, without gods and therefore distinct from, though encompassing, ancient Shinto with its myriad gods.
