Letting people know I am from Brazil (Japanese)

(Japanese) In fact, when I work with Japanese companies, in such an environment where nothing is related to Brazil, I feel like there might be something that only I don’t understand or I’m not aware of. Since I don’t want to be in such situations, when I meet people for the first time, especially when there is no chance to bring up “Brazil,” I try to tell them I’m from Brazil.

Well, under such circumstances, uh, how should I say this, it’s not like I want to declare my identity as Brazilian or Nikkei, but rather I don’t want to be rude to others without knowing that I’m being rude, so if they know that I’m from Brazil, well, I’m hoping that they might be a bit tolerant, so I try to tell them a bit about where I come from.

Entrevista

Paulo nació en enero de 1979, en Sao Paulo, Brasil. Sus abuelos son oriundos de la Prefectura de Kumamoto, por lo que Paulo es un nikkei de 3º generación o sea “sansei”. Se crió en el Barrio Monte Kemel que está cerca del famoso barrio oriental Liberdade. En 1898 viene a Japón porque su padre ya trabajaba como “dekassegi”. Desde ese entonces, reside en la localidad de Oizumi, Prefectura de Gunma. Al comienzo tuvo dificultades de comunicación porque no hablaba el idioma japonés pero a medida que fue aprendiendo comenzó a tener amistades japonesas. Hoy en dia, es diseñador gráfico y con su nivel de japonés apoya a la comunidad brasileña local. En el 2009 se independiza y forma su propio Estudio. También, edita un free paper (revista de distribución gratuita con publicidad) para Oizumi-machi y anhela que esta ciudad sea un verdadero Barrio Brasileño “Brasil Town”. (Agosto de 2017)
