A produção lexicográfica japonesa iniciou-se logo no período Nara (710-794), florescendo durante o período Heian (794-1185). Os primeiros trabalhos constituíam-se de vocabulários e manuais de poesia, ou manuais de pronúncia para monges budistas. Alguns séculos depois, com a ascensão das classes militares, obras com o intuito de educar esses novos líderes começaram a organizar o léxico de maneira mais universal. Dentro dessa nova tradição, também é possível encontrar as obras produzidas pelos missionários portugueses da Companhia de Jesus. No presente trabalho serão exploradas as características de duas obras: o Vocabulario da Lingoa de Iapam com a declaração em Portugues, feito por alguns Padres, e Irmãos da Companhia de Iesu, e o RACVYOXV. Uma atenção especial será dada para o RACVYOXV, um dicionário de sinogramas dividido em três volumes impressos no ano de 1598, com uma máquina tipográfica trazida da Europa ao Japão pelos jesuítas. Existem poucos estudos dessas duas obras no ocidente, e, no caso do RACVYOXV, nenhum estudo em língua portuguesa. Através da comparação dos vocábulos e entradas desses dois trabalhos cuja publicação é separada por apenas cinco anos, o presente trabalho almeja apresentar o RACVYOXV com a descrição da sua estrutura interna e mostrar as possíveis relações entre o léxico deste com o do Vocabulario tendo em vista a finalidade pedagógica das duas obras / The Japanese lexicographic production begun at the Nara era (710-794), blooming during the Heian era (794-1185). The first works were vocabularies and poetry handbooks, or pronunciation guides to Buddhist monks. Few centuries later, with the rising of military classes, works with the intention to educate those new leaders started to organize all lexicon more universally. Inside this new tradition, it is also possible to find the works made by the Portuguese missionaries of the Companhia de Jesus. In this paper, it will be explored the features from two works: the Vocabulario da Lingoa de Iapam com a declaração em Portugues, feito por alguns Padres, e Irmãos da Companhia de Iesu, and the RACVYOXV. One special atention will be given to the RACVYOXV, one sinogram dictionary divided in three volumes, pressed at the year of 1598, with a typography machine brought from Europe to Japan by the Jesuits. There are few studies of these two works in the western world, and, about the RACVYOXV, there are no studies in Portuguese. Through the comparison of the lexicon and entries of those two works, whose publication are just five years apart, this paper wills to present the RACVYOXV with the description of its internal structure and show the possible relation with its lexicon with the Vocabularios lexicon, in the light of pedagogical finality of both works

This thesis examines the Utah Nippo, its messages to Salt Lake City's Nikkei population, and draws out the paper's editorial themes intended for resident Utah Nikkei. The Utah Nippo was one of three Japanese-language newspapers that published during World War II and it was a voice for community leaders and editors who urged Salt Lake Nikkei to behave in certain ways that (they believed) would prove a certain loyal American identity. Such an identity was comprised of prescribed behaviors: supporting the government and war effort, attending patriotic activities, keeping a low social profile, and quietly enduring the fear and discrimination directed at them as Nikkei in the midst of a national war against Japan. The Utah Nippo painted the model minority stereotype during World War II, although scholars view it as a postwar concept imposed on Asian Americans. Although not entirely dictated by the Japanese American Citizens League, the newspaper content was influenced by the League's wartime campaigns for working with the U.S. government and behaving loyally. Nikkei in community leadership roles actively encouraged this image because it meant safety by assurance of Americanism. Individuals and editorials highlighted behaviors that helped or hurt the group image. The newspaper also focused on ending racism in the U.S. within Nikkei communities and as they resettled throughout the nation. While the Utah Nippo printed such sentiments, not all residents necessarily agreed with or did as the newspaper suggested, yet the articles indicated the identity that editors and leaders hoped to create. In light of the tenuous situation that Salt Lake Nikkei felt they lived in, it made sense for individuals to outwardly conform and incorporate the paper's behavioral guidelines in order to deflect suspicions over loyalty away from the group.
