Kobe Mosque

The Maritime Asia Heritage Survey works to systematically inventory and digitally document the endangered cultural heritage in the Maldives, Indonesia, and elswhere across the region. The materials documented through this work are critically endangered, facing both natural and human threats that jeopardize the survival and accessibility of historical information for this vital node in pre-modern global economic and religious networks at the cross-roads of an interconnected Indian Ocean world. The data made available here was collected by our Field Team using FARO Focus S350 Lidar scanner, Nikon D850 DSLR, and DJI Mavic 3 Pro drone. Built in 1935 as the first mosque in Japan, the Kobe Mosque (MAHS-JPN-HYG-KOB-S-001) is built of stone mosque in a modern ???Moorish??? style featuring a dome, two square minarets, and two round minarets. Inside are three stories and a basement providing prayer space. The main prayer hall on the first floor features a marble mihrab and minbar. The prayer space for women on the second floor overlooks the main prayer hall. It is frequented by Muslims attending daily prayers and visitors.
