- 研究成果概要
- The initial purpose was to explore the Japanese Paraguayan community in Paraguay in order to expand my knowledge of Japanese communities in Latin America beyond Peru, Bolivia, and Argentina. However, I was only able to gather materials about the historical overview of Japanese immigration to Paraguay in the 1950s in Washington D.C. and Chicago. I was planning to go to Paraguay to give a talk on a comparative study of Japanese Peruvian poetry and Japanese Paraguayan poetry in October 2019, however, this project did not go through due to a budgetary issue. Instead of starting a new project without being able to explore further Japanese Paraguayan poetry, I decided to use the half of the funding to explore new Japanese Peruvian writers at Elena Kohatsu Library at the Japanese Cultural Center in Lima, Peru, where I found several new materials, including non-Japanese Peruvian writers who write about the Japanese community. I also spent some time in Mexico City in order to explore how haiku was imported to Mexican poetry by Jose Juan Tablada at the beginning of the 20th century and examine how his haiku poetry has influenced Japanese Peruvian poetry.
