This lecture presents an overview of Japanese-Brazilian, or Nikkei artists, in three sections. First, Michiko Okano discusses the brief history of Japanese immigration to Brazil. Second, Okano shares some places where one can appreciate Japanese traditional architecture and culture, and finally, Okano goes more in depth in an exploration of Japanese Brazilian artists. This last section aims to present the panoramic view of art relating to Japanese tradition in Brazil, its uniqueness, and diversity beginning from the first immigrants until the third-generation descendants.
