The Falcon's Cipher: Unlock Hiragana's Secret Islamic Legacy

For centuries, the graceful curves of Japanese Hiragana have been seen as an evolution from Chinese Manyōgana. But what if their true origins lie in a completely different script, a different culture, a different world entirely?

In "The Falcon's Cipher," author Hicham Loukili embarks on a groundbreaking investigation, revealing astonishing patterns of resemblance between the sounds and written forms of Hiragana characters and the ancient letters of the Arabic alphabet. This meticulously researched work delves into:

Visual & Phonetic Parallels: Discover surprising similarities between Hiragana and Arabic Kufic calligraphy, analyzed through the historic Abjad Hawwaz system.

Ciphered Meanings: Explore the author's theory that Hiragana characters were deliberately designed to embed hidden messages, allusions to Islamic history, Quranic verses, Prophetic sayings (Hadith), and even geographical clues.

Cultural Connections: Address intriguing questions like the mutual attraction between Japanese and Arabic calligraphy, and perceived cultural similarities, through a radical new linguistic lens.

The Designer's Identity: Uncover a speculative profile of Hiragana's potential designer – a highly knowledgeable individual with deep mastery of Arabic, Islamic teachings, and possibly a personal connection to events around 930 AD in Mecca.

Through detailed analysis and illustrative comparisons, "The Falcon's Cipher" proposes that Hiragana’s creation was not mere simplification, but a sophisticated act of linguistic and cultural encoding.

This book is an intellectual adventure for those with a basic knowledge of Arabic and Japanese Hiragana, and an open mind to explore unconventional theories. It aims to inspire linguists, calligraphers, historians, and anyone fascinated by the secret connections between seemingly disparate cultures.

Is Hiragana more than just a script? Could it be a cipher, holding the key to a forgotten Islamic influence on ancient Japan? Journey with Hicham Loukili and decide for yourself.
