This is the exterior of the Mosque in Tokyo. The original was built by Tatars in the 1930's. This one was rebuilt by the Turkish Government between 1998 and 2000. I don't know what happened to the original one. I've never been, but the interior looks splendid.
It's still Ramadan, and I thought this book would be appropriate. I scanned and re-scanned this a few times. The first attempt was of pretty poor quality. This one is far more legible. I scanned page three at least SEVEN times!
This book was printed in Tokyo in 1932 and I believe the cover says "Islam Tarihi" - Islamic History. It is written in Arabic Script - Tatar Language.
It was a given from my Zuhre Ebe.
