Abstract
This article intends to présent the life-story of Suzuki Shoko, a Japanese ceramic artist living in Brazil,following the precepts of the récits de vie as defined by Daniel Bertaux (2000). Based on Renato Ortiz’s concept of identity as a symbolic construction made in relation to a referent (2000), it is important to know the historical,social and cultural context of these céramistes trajectory. The role of the Japanese woman in the beginning of the Showa Era (1929-1945),the experience of the Second World War,the émigration of Japanese artists to the “New World” and the appropriation of the Japanese “tradition” in Brazil are elements that will permeate these ceramist’s discourse, whose story is marked by the transcultural experience and by the constant negotiation of her identity in the relation with the “other”.
