W・Jモラエス翁像

Wenceslau José de Souza de Moraes (30 May 1854 – 1 July 1929), in modern orthography Venceslau José de Sousa de Morais, was a Portuguese writer whose works were steeped in orientalism and exoticism, particularly the culture of Japan. He has been compared to Lafcadio Hearn, a contemporary who settled

in Japan but wrote in English. A translator of Haiku, his verse was also influenced by Symbolism.
