Our roots "Sendai"

Sendai is one of my roots. My paternal grandparents and father were born in "Gamou", the costal area of Sendai city.
In Gamou, only my grandfather's family immigrated to Brazil, taking many hopes and 5 sons, the youngest of the family, my father was baby.
After many years passed, next I (Japanese Brazilian) decided to live in Sendai!

Sendai has special charms, if you get away from downtown, you can go to mountains, big parks and sea easily. On the other hand, there is neon-glittering streets unique to cities.

Sendai is like a second home to me. Likewise Brazil like a second home to my grandparents.

Downtown area is only just recovering from the March 11th a huge earthquake.
