Kenji Kawanishi

nice to meet you.My name is Kenji Kawanishi, Brazilian nationality, half-third generation. Around 2000, he came to Japan as a migrant worker with his father and mother-in-law, without knowing any Japanese, and has lived while working in various forms.He has lived in Japan with various experiences as a temporary worker, part-time worker, full-time employee, organization employee / executive, company management / executive, and is doing his best to realize a new form of multicultural society. .He bought a house in Okaya City and lives with his wife and two sisters-in-law.He was born in Japan, grew up, and has a son who went to work in another prefecture.His son didn't have many linguistic problems, but when he was in kindergarten and elementary school, he got into trouble due to cultural differences.Having lived in various prefectures and municipalities, he is drawn to Nagano's personal charm and has stayed there.

Length of stay23
Country of originFederative Republic of Brazil:
Brazil is a country where mixed races and mixed races are very noticeable.
It is a country where people from all countries have immigrated and it is easy to understand what multicultural coexistence is.It is a land where various cultures exist in one country, and various societies that mix but do not completely mix, coexisting while colliding. What is Brazilian culture?While keeping in mind Brazil's "multicultural coexistence", I intend to aim for "multicultural coexistence" in Japan.
HobbiesMy hobby is activities aimed at realizing a multicultural society.Currently in Japan, there is no concrete definition of multicultural coexistence, and I am keenly aware that it cannot be expected to be realized.Diversity is essential for the realization of a multicultural society, but I feel that the movement to promote multicultural coexistence, which lacks diversity, is in progress without being recognized for thinking other than conventional ways of doing things. Masu.I think we need to aim for multicultural coexistence from a new perspective.In addition to my job, I am aiming for multicultural coexistence activities as a hobby, so I will do my best at all times.
My favorite Nagano prefectureI feel that Nagano Prefecture is just the right prefecture.You can live without heavy traffic and crowds, but you don't have to worry about not being able to choose what to do.From the north to the south of Nagano Prefecture, there are reasonably large cities, and smaller municipalities in between.As long as you have a car, you won't be completely isolated wherever you live, and I think it's a prefecture where you can enjoy both rural and urban life.It's not easy for foreigners to live, but I think it's a prefecture that has the greatest potential to realize a multicultural society if you really aim for it.I think it's unrealistic with the current method, but I love the fact that it's a place where the conditions for realizing it are the most complete.
My favorite JapaneseTo most foreigners, Japanese is a very ambiguous language.I recognize that this is because Japanese culture itself is ambiguous.As a first impression, I felt that the ambiguity was bad, but as I mastered Japanese, I came to like it.I don't think there is a better language than this.Of course, the ambiguity can sometimes be a pain, but I don't think there is a language that is as easy as this if you can use it well.That's why my favorite Japanese words are "tacit consent", "everyone's beauty", "appropriate", "irrelevant", "I see", "okay", "dangerous", "excuse me", "I'll disturb you", etc. You can say, "Sorry for the inconvenience."
ProfileCurrently, multicultural coexistence promotion projects in Japan (including Nagano Prefecture) are mainly carried out by volunteers such as the government, public interest foundations, incorporated associations and NPO corporations, etc., and support for foreign residents (especially language support.) is the main business content.Since the assistance is given to foreign residents, who make up only about 2% of the total population, the budget is extremely small. I felt it.We have reexamined the problems surrounding the realization of multicultural coexistence from a new perspective, and established a company with the aim of realizing a multicultural society.・ I am working as the president and representative director of the network.He is also registered as a police, court, lawyer, etc., and has served as a member of various councils such as the Suwa Police Station Council.For more information, please visit the link below.
