  12. Context The Fine Arts School of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro is the oldest institution of arts in Brazil. Since colonial times we have had courses in Engraving, Painting, Sculpture, among others. But only in 2009, the degree in History of Art was created.

  13. Context Even being a bicentenary institution – The Fine Arts School was created by the King of Portugal, when the Portuguese Royal Family moved from Portugal under Napoleon threat – it’s the first time that the institution has promoted a course in Asian Arts.

  14. Challenge There is no text-book (no Clunas, no Masson, no Stanley-Baker) Ex. *Wong, Eva (tr), Seven Taoist Masters: a Folk Novel of China (Boston: Shambhala, 1990). We have 3 others books translated into Portuguese on the shelves of self-help books (“Feng Shui” etc.) *Pauline C. Lee recommended readings  but we have: **Watson, Burton (tr), Chuang Tzu (New York: Columbia University Press, 1968). Translated from English (!)

  15. Rugendas, 1822 Tea Plantation The first Chinese Immigrants arrived in Brazil in 1810 (400)

  16. The first Japanese immigrants arrived in Brazil in 1908. Brazil is home to the largest Japanese population outside of Japan. “As of 2004, there were some 1.6 million people of Japanese descent estimated to live in Brazil, accounting for 62 percent of the 2.6 million Japanese and their descendents in total living abroad, according to the Association of Nikkei and Japanese Abroad”. The Japan Times Online, 2008-01-15 A poster used in Japan to attract immigrants to Brazil.

Shan Xing I Escalada da Montanha Du Mu (803 – 852) “Por este caminho sinuoso de pedras escalo a montanha até o topo, onde faz frio.O caminho me conduz a um lugar de nuvens brancas onde vivem pessoas.Detenho a minha carruagem e sento-me para apreciar as árvores de bordo,cujas folhas geladas são tão vermelhas quanto as flores de primavera.” (trad.
