Ecos lusófonos no Japão: a era Meiji vista por Wenceslau de Moraes // Lusophone echoes in Japan: the Meiji period in the eyes of Wenceslau de Moraes

Abstract

During the three decades he lived in Japan, Wenceslau de Moraes (1854–1929) explored and identified the many nuances of the changes that took place during the Meiji era (1868–1912), a period of modernisation in Japan — modernisation based very much on a western model. His writings are of great use and relevance for anyone conducting research on twentieth-century Japanese society.
