Localization Strategies and Institutional Practices of Cultural Diplomacy: The Case of the Embassy of Brazil in Tokyo, Japan
This study examines the localization strategies and institutional practices of Brazilian cultural diplomacy through the case of Instituto Guimaraes Rosa at the Embassy of Brazil in Tokyo. While Brazil possesses abundant cultural resources, including music, cinema, literature, visual arts, football, food, multiculturalism, and the Portuguese language, the institutionalization of its cultural diplomacy remains relatively underexplored, particularly in East Asian contexts. Focusing on Japan, this study analyzes how Brazilian cultural diplomacy is practiced in a specific local setting shaped by Brazil-Japan migration history, the Brazilian community in Japan, Japanese interest in Brazilian music, and the existing but limited institutional basis for Portuguese-language education. Methodologically, this study draws on theoretical discussions of public diplomacy and cultural diplomacy, official documents and institutional materials related to Brazilian cultural diplomacy, and field research based on an in-depth interview with an official of Instituto Guimaraes Rosa in Tokyo. The findings show that Brazilian cultural diplomacy in Japan operates not as a centralized, state-led model, but rather as a network-based form of cultural diplomacy that connects local cultural demand, private actors, universities, cultural institutions, curators, corporate sponsors, artists, and the Brazilian diaspora. The study also reveals important institutional limitations. Brazilian cultural diplomacy still faces challenges related to the absence of a clear long-term strategy, limited centralized coordination, dependence on private sponsorship, and the difficulty of expanding Portuguese-language education in Japan. Nevertheless, the case of Instituto Guimaraes Rosa in Tokyo demonstrates the potential of Brazilian cultural diplomacy to adapt flexibly to local contexts and to reconfigure Brazil’s image through cooperation with local actors.
