"A milenar cultura japonesa tem como pilares a disciplina e o respeito. Foi com esses alicerces que a Escola Japonesa de Manaus foi criada há 31 anos. Construída para que os filhos dos empresários nascidos na Terra do Sol Nascente transferidos para o Pólo Industrial de Manaus seguissem o rígido aprendizado em que foram criados no Japão, o local abriga hoje 27 alunos (12 deles japoneses e 15 brasileiros filhos de japoneses), entre seis aos 15 anos de idade."
