Templo Budista e Wajunkai: o Japão na Zona 8

🏯 Did you know that Maringá is home to one of the most impressive Buddhist temples in Brazil? Beyond its architectural beauty, the Jodoshu Nippakuji Buddhist Temple holds stories that span continents. 🌏✨ Built through a direct connection with Japan, it brings together ancient symbols, a 900-kilogram bell brought from the East 🔔, and traditional construction techniques executed by a Japanese master carpenter. Next to it, there is another moving story: the Wajunkai Asylum ❤️, created to welcome Japanese people and their descendants who face difficulties far from their families. 👴👵 In this episode of the web series "Memories of My Neighborhood," we journey through the history of the Japanese community that helped build the city we know today. More than that, we show how their traditions are preserved in Zone 8. 🤝 ▶️ Watch, share, and help preserve the history of Maringá.
