What could there possibly be in common between indigenous culture and Japanese culture? More than one can imagine! Starting on June 9th, the Japanese Pavilion in Ibirapuera Park will host the exhibition Indigenous Banks of Brazil , which presents around 70 pieces produced in various regions of the upper and lower Xingu, southern Amazon, Central-West, northern Pará, Guianas and northwestern Amazon.
At the end of the month, this same exhibition will cross the ocean and settle in Tokyo, Japan, in celebration of the 110th anniversary of the arrival of the first ship of immigrants in Brazil and the contact between cultures.
Architects Eiji Hayakawa and designer Claudia Moreira Salles seek to demonstrate the integration between two peoples who are geographically very distant, but close in terms of rigor, tradition, materials and artistic sensitivity.

Benches are utensils that have symbolic meaning, inspired by indigenous legends and myths. The wood is carefully carved to transform it into animals or carefully painted furniture.
