Standing on the breezy edge of Rinko Park, the Lima-chan statue commemorates the centenary of Japanese migration to South America, which began when the first wave of emigrants set sail from this harbor in 1899. Crafted with her hand outstretched for a handshake, she gazes across the ocean toward Lima, where her sister statue Sakura-chan looks back across the Pacific. Visitors strolling the scenic harbor promenade can take a moment to grasp her hand, connecting directly with a touching symbol of transpacific history and cultural kinship.
