Description

Portuguese writer Wenceslau de Moraes sent a large amount of picture postcards to Portugal from Japan. 609 of them were donated to Tokushima city in 1989, and they are stored in the Moraes Museum located at the summit of Mt. Bizan. They were published as “Moraes no Ehagaki-shokan” and “Moraes Ehagaki-shu I - IV” respectively in 1994 and 2004, in Japan. Independent from the collection in Tokushima, a book of picture postcard-collection entitled "Permanências e Errâncias no Japão" was published from Fundação Oriente in 2004 in Portugal. In this paper, we characterized these books and summarized the data of the picture postcards concerning his living areas and tourist resorts where he visited. He was outing vigorously to famous temples, shrines, and tourist resorts in holiday while he lived in Kobe. However, such opportunity extremely reduced after he moved to Tokushima when he started a cloistered life. Although Buddhism gave a significant impact on his religious piety, that is able to be understood from his writings, his feeling to Shinto has been obscured. However, some picture postcards revealed his attraction to Shinto. There is a Moraes's photo that was taken at a waterfall when he lived in Kobe. The place is often explained as “Nunobiki-no-taki (Kobe Nunobiki Waterfall)”, but we found that the it was the “Tsutsumi-ga-taki” at Arima, now it is called “Tsuzumigataki Waterfall” in the Tsuzumigataki Park in Arima, Kobe.
