Kawasaki City Museum
Finished

Oscar Niemeyer, Tomie Oe, Fernando Cardoso, Caito et al.
On April 28th, 1908, the first ship of emigrants to Brazil, the "Kasato-maru", left Japan and arrived at the Port of Santos after a two-month voyage on June 18th. This year marks the 100th anniversary since the beginning of a wave of Japanese emigration to Brazil, and a variety of commemorative events are taking place all over Japan.

Organized by the Japan Brazil Art Center, this Japan-Brazil Friendship exhibition is being held at the Kawasaki City Museum, showcasing works by 17 Brazilian contemporary artists, as well as accessories, crafts and fashion items selected by Brazilian journalists, reflecting the life and culture of the nation from various angles. Also on view are works by veteran artists such as architect Oscar Niemeyer (who turned 100 this year), as well as 94 year-old Tomie Oe, who is still active in Brazil. Film screenings are scheduled as well.
