Did you know japan has an apartment complex with thousands of brazilians? It was registered to have 4 thousand brazilians out of 9 thousand residents in 2008, with some other south americans living it, by now they are probably the majority. Its a strange place in japan with signs in portuguese, brazilian food businesses, schools that teach portuguese, and even an evangelical church inside of it. They routinely commemorate carnaval and a photographer described the place to look exactly the same as Rio.
"I think it was the summer of 2000. I was driving around Hamamatsu and, since it was hot, I was looking for a place where I could sleep outside instead of sleeping in the car. There happened to be this sand dune and there were a lot of people having what appeared to be a carnival on the beach. It was like a beach party. There were like 3,000 Brazilians, all in their bathing suits. I didnโt see a single Japanese person. It didnโt feel like Japan at all. I previously had the opportunity to shoot in Rio de Janeiro and Salvador during Carnival season and it left a lasting impression on me."
