Since the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, Japanese migrants in Peru have been constituted as a colony, whose characteristic is to maintain Japanese traditions. Following this line, this work pretends to expose the different ups and downs that the Japanese community had when relating to the Peruvian people, from the way in which the first migrants were welcomed as slaves, going through the rejection of the Asian immigration spread by the United States under the stereotype of the "yellow peril" or yellow danger, which would arrive in Peru with a halo of racism and a wave of xenophobia after the Second World War and ending with the Nikkei presence as a new way of creating community and possibility of identity. With this panorama, in this paper, I explore the representation of the Nikkei community as a space from which to analyze the perception of Japan in Peru through Augusto Higa Oshiro. I intend to expose the novel challenges and identities resolved or not of the inhabitants of Japanese origin in the text of Oshiro, all through the way in which it performs a representation of the bodies and voices of migrants from Japan, called Nikkei, resulting in to report the strange, the migration in its marginal state and the idealization of community.
