井筒俊彦 Izutsu Toshihiko (1914-1993)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toshihiko_Izutsu
1) Toshihiko Izutsu was Professor Emeritus at Keio University in Japan and an outstanding authority in the metaphysical and philosophical wisdom schools of Islamic Sufism, Hindu Advaita Vedanta, Mahayana Buddhism (particularly Zen), and Philosophical Taoism. Fluent in over 30 languages, including Arabic, Persian, Sanskrit, Pali, Chinese, Japanese, Russian and Greek, his peripatetic research in such places as the Middle East (especially Iran), India, Europe, North America, and Asia were undertaken with a view to developing a meta-philosophical approach to comparative religion based upon a rigorous linguistic study of traditional metaphysical texts. Izutsu often stated his belief that harmony could be fostered between peoples by demonstrating that many beliefs with which a community identified itself could be found, though perhaps masked in a different form, in the metaphysics of another, very different community.
2) Toshihiko Izutsu was born into a wealthy family in Japan. His father was a calligrapher and a Zen Buddhist, and Izutsu became familiar with meditation and koans (sayings and teachings followed by the Zens) from an early age. Izutsu was a well known Japanese scholar on Islam, having taught at Keio University, McGill University, Montreal and the Iranian Imperial Academy of Philosophy, Tehran. Izutsu's area of study was wide, and more than thirty scholarly works in Japanese and English are attributed to him, all of which demonstrate uniqueness of his thought through the construction of complex theoretical arguments. Complementing this brilliance was his mastery of over twenty languages, including Hebrew, Persian, Chinese, Turkish, Sanskrit and Arabic, in addition to many modern European languages. In 1958, he completed translation of the Quran, for the first time directly from Arabic to Japanese.
