Portuguese free spirit with an acute passion towards Japan. Long time japanese language terrible student. Part-time photographer with incredible luck in finding people willing to exhibit my Japan-themed pictures. Owner of a piece of paper that states I'm an art-historian, post-graduate on namban-art and Portugal-Japan heritage and some other aparently boring stuff. But I do like art and culture... it alows me to know people and places deeply and experience the limits of perception and belief. My proudest achievement is the non-profitable project I've created and have run for some years, connecting Portugal and Japan with news, activities aiming students and teachers, workshops, conferences, etc.

Non-fictional books about Japan: "Um longo Verão no Japão" (A long Summer in Japan), "Geminação Cascais - Atami: história de uma amizade" (Twin cities Cascais and Atami: the story of a friendship), "Património de Cristianismo no Japão" (Intangible Cultural Heritage of Christianity in Japan), all of them in portuguese, two of them are a collection of essays atached to photography exhibitions. E-book free on www.clubotaku.com: "Japão: guia de sobrevivência" (Survivor Guide to Japan), also in portuguese. Several lectures and papers in english can be provided upon request. For video-conferences/on-line learning watch my youtube channel. These are the videos in english: 1- The velvet cape; 2 - Boats and bodies; 3 - Need a flag; 4 - southern point of view; 5 - Tales from within and beyond: the case of the Tanegashima gun - part I and II. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRQr5YwNF-VXhr6Gkycl-1A/videos?view_as=public
