Hakkoichiu or National-Pan Asiaism of Japan and it's Influence on the Islamic Studies from 1926 to 1945

In the 19th century, under the pressure of imperialism and due to the neo-Shinto developments along with the national-aristocracy revolution of Meiji, the empire of Japan came out of isolation and began to carry out the process of modernization. One of the requirements of modernism is globalization and knowledge of the nations and peoples around the world. From this point of view, especially after the formation of pan-Asian ideology, Islamic studies also started in this country. Pan-Asiaism soon merged with extreme Japanese nationalism, and the idea of Hakkoichiu, which was its most extreme form, was dominated by the military. The main data of this research are the articles and research of Japanese people during the Hakkoichiu era, also the approach used in this research is the 19th-century national-global studies that emphasize the interactions and the nature of native culture. The question of the present article is that How Islamic studies from the perspective of Hakkoichiu during the years 1926-1945 was created and what process did it go through? The result of this research is that due to the political conditions of Japan, which was connected to its economic power, indifference towards the Islamic world gave way to large investments not only to study this region but also to attract the support of Muslims to create harmony between Islamic and Japanese values.
