In 2008, it will be 100 years since the first Japanese migrated to Brazil. To accompany this centennial the exhibition 'Blooming' was organised at the Toyota Municipal Museum of Art in Aichi, Japan featuring fifteen artists from the two countries. The choice of participants such as Rinko Kawauchi, Ernesto Neto, Laura Belém, Monica Nador and Shimabuku was based on the energetic and brilliant works that they make. Nicely designed, this thick catalogue features generous surveys of works by each artist that has participated and is accompanied by writings and biographical information.
