The best way to talk about Japan

What is Japonismo?

•  Japonismo emerges with the aim to talk about Japan

and Japanese culture globally from an informative

academic point of view without this meaning its contents are tiresome or difficult to follow.

•  Our objective is getting to any Spanish-speaker

interested in Japan and addressing broad, varied

subjects which usually cannot be found in sites about Japan in Spanish.

In Japonismo we talk about:

•  Travelling and Tourism; •  Modern and Traditional Culture; •  Society, Sociology and Anthropology; •  Geisha; •  Japanese Trains and Shinkansen; •  Traditional sports such as Sumo;

•  Book reviews and articles on Japanese literature;

•  Dorama and film reviews; •  Articles on Japanese cinema; •  Latest news on Japan; •  And any other subject related to Japan and the

Japanese which attracts our attention.
