Why "Yasemin" in Turkish Language?


In the summer of 2000, Chiharu happened to walke by a beautiful mosque in Yoyogi-Uehara which is not far from the apartmenthouse where she lives. She found it newly built in June that year by the Turkish government. It is called Tokyo Camii or Tokyo mosque.(Camii is Turkish word which means "the place where peaple get together," pronounced as [jahmii])

As she became interested in islam, she began to go to this mosque often. Finally, she made shahadah(religious confession) and the name Yasemin in Turkish language was given to her.
