History
editFounded on October 8, 1946, the Journal São Paulo Shimbun was a vehicle of communication directed towards the Japanese-Brazilian community. Businessman Mituto Mizumoto observed the need that Japanese immigrants had for their own newspaper which would publish facts about Brazil and Japan. The São Paulo Shimbun was authorized to start publishing on September 6, 1946. On October 12 of the same year the first edition was published.[4] As of 2013 Kátia Sattomura was the chief editor of the newspaper's Portuguese-language division.[5] The newspaper publishes Portuguese content over the internet.[6] It printed its last issue on January 1, 2019.[3]
Homage
editIn 2011, Scottish musician Momus discovered a copy of the newspaper at the Center for Overseas Migration and Cultural Interaction in Kobe, Japan and wrote "I want someone to make a typeface based on that masthead so I can use it for a future album cover."[7][8] In 2013, James Goggin created a typeface based on the masthead typography from the newspaper for Momus's album Bambi.[7][8]
