Abstract
Iran is a large country in western Asia which in spite of its long distance form Japan has had relations with this country throughout centuries. The proof of this claim is the oldest Japanese book of history which talks about the presence of Iranians in this country. In addition to this book, there are several documents and evidences which indicate the presence of Iranians in Japan and the impact of Iranian culture on Japan. The present study attempts to probe into this claim on the basis of written and oral documents relating to this issue.
