A century has passed since the first Japanese immigrants arrived to Brazil, who left from the port city of Kobe. “Semear” was produced over a two year period, to document the Japanese “Nikkei” community in Brazil, as well as the natural scenery and sometimes nostalgic, an uniquely Brazilian sense of energy.
“What I wanted to see might be be the immense power of Brazil, a country able to absorb everything like the so-cold Devil’s Throat, which swallows Iguacu Falls’ main flume in a deafening roar.” - Rinko Kawauchi
