Description: "In this book, Márcio Távora documents the Japanese community that practices gueitebol (or gateball ) in the city of São Paulo. The sport was created in Japan in 1947, as an activity aimed at children in the post-war context, but it was widely accepted by the elderly, both in Japan and in the Japanese immigrant community in other countries."--livrosdefotografia.org (viewed November 8 2021)

Gueitebol printed in Japanese script on cover.

"On a dirt court, clubs and balls are the equipment for a game without much physical effort, but one that requires a lot of strategy . I visited clubs all over São Paulo, had breakfast with the players, did Japanese gymnastics, had lunch with them and finally started playing. As in most of my projects, living with the theme gave me beautiful images, friendships and finally acceptance as a member of a club basically formed by Japanese people."-- Photographer's statement on marciatravessoni.com (viewed November 8, 2021)
