Abstract: Abstract This chapter will explore the historical developments of mathematically influenced artistic works in both Islamic and Japanese regions. The main artworks to be examined will include Islamic geometric patterning and Japanese temple geometry. Through a comparative analysis of historical developments of these regions, we can gain a perspective on cultural influences and the interconnectivity of ancient civilizations and how these aspects impacted mathematical artworks. Cultural influences such as religion and beliefs play an important role in mathematics and art. Islamic regions and Japan may seem at first culturally isolated from one another, but an exploration of ancient trade routes such as the Silk Road will diminish this idea of isolation. We will take a historic look at the transfer of mathematics to Islamic and Japanese regions and also the native developments in mathematics of both regions.
