This study analyses representations of Japanese women in Egypt and representations of Egyptian women in Japan. By exploring the formation of Mutual gendered representations focusing on women in each country, the study seeks to create a space for dialogue between Egypt and Japan and deepen understanding between the two countries. After discussing the formation of gender representations in each country, the study identifies opportunities and challenges facing gender studies in Egypt and Japan to suggest possible paths forward. This study reviews gender-orientated studies by both Japanese and Egyptian scholars, as well as news articles and films. The study found that most Japanese studies on gender issues in Egypt adopt an empirical approach; in contrast, most Egyptian studies on gender issues in Japan adopt literary analysis. There remains a lack of interdisciplinary, cross-cultural studies on gender in both Egypt and Japan. Translating studies on these issues into other languages may help deepen understanding and encourage dialogue. However, translated studies alone are insufficient for examining in-depth the historical and cultural specificities of both societies.
