Wenceslau José de Souza de Moraes, in modern orthography Venceslau José de Sousa de Morais, was a Portuguese writer whose works were steeped in orientalism and exoticism, particularly the culture of Japan.
He has been compared to Lafcadio Hearn, a contemporary who settled in Japan but wrote in English. A translator of Haiku, his verse was also influenced by Symbolism.
