Biography

[edit]

Sancaklı was born in Yugoslavia in 1954.[citation needed] He immigrated to Turkey with his family in 1960, graduating from Istanbul University's Department of Geophysical Engineering in 1978[citation needed] and worked at the Kandilli Observatory.[citation needed] From 1981 to 1984, he studied abroad at the University of Tokyo's Earthquake Research Institute through a scholarship granted by the Japanese government.[citation needed]

During his studies in Japan, he and his wife felt embarrassed whenever they had to explain that they were from Toruko (トルコ, lit.'Turkey') since people would conflate it with Toruko-buro (トルコ風呂, lit.'Turkish bath'), a Japanese term that became an innuendo for a brothel's services after the Prostitution Prevention Law went into effect. After finishing his studies, Sancaklı initiated a campaign to change the name in the summer of 1984, which netted the attention of then-journalist Yuriko Koike and the Minister of Health and Welfare Kōzō Watanabe.[1] The campaigns quickly succeeded with brothel owners agreeing to change the term to soapland (ソープランド, sōpurando).[2][3]

Upon returning to Turkey, he quit his job at the Kandilli Observatory to focus on tourism between Japan and Turkey.[citation needed] Sancaklı wrote a number of books and guides on the Japanese language, establishing courses in Cappadocia and Istanbul,[citation needed] then he began to teach said courses at Erciyes University in Kayseri from 1994 to 1998.[citation needed]
