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]
