In the present text, the objective is to make a brief reflection on the possible opportunities in strengthening the relations between Mexico and Japan through the comparison of two strong traditions in both nations that have similarities like Obon in Japan and the Day of the Dead in Mexico so this can be an element to draw upon Mexican cultural diplomacy.
