Description: This is a monument opened to the public in 2008 - by the emperor Hiroito - to celebrate the 100 years of Japanese immigration to Brazil. The first immigrants entered the country through the seaport of Santos. The sculpture is monumental: steel, painted red, will have 15 m high, 20 m long and 2 m wide and be at the end of the platform of the Submarine Outfall. It was made by Tomie Ohtake, who was born in Kyoto 93 years ago, and came to Brazil in 1936.
