Resumen:
José Juan Tablada es reconocido como el introductor del haikú a la lengua española y por su
pasión por el Oriente, especialmente Japón y China, siendo una figura muy importante dentro
del japonismo y orientalismo hispanoamericano. Sin embargo, las crónicas que relatan su
viaje a Japón no han tenido la valoración necesaria como parte inaugural del japonismo
mexicano, ni del propio japonismo propiamente tabladiano. Esta investigación pretende
revalorizar las crónicas contenidas en el libro En el país del sol como textos inaugurales del
japonismo y el orientalismo, vistas como un diálogo intercultural entre Oriente y
Latinoamérica. Tablada es el primer modernista que viajó a Japón y pese a tener rasgos
similares con los viajeros europeos, Tablada logra separarse del discurso orientalista
europeizante, con esta premisa, se analizará el discurso latinoamericano orientalista que
utiliza Tablada para interpretar y re-interpretar Japón desde su propia experiencia para dar a
conocer el lejano país a sus coterráneos.
