Biography
Biography
From a young age, Sakai showed a liking towards painting, design, and sculpture. At 14 years old, he immigrated to Brazil, where he lived in the Pinheiros district of São Paulo, later settling in Embu das Artes. Recognized internationally as a sculptor in terracotta, he began his art career in 1951 under the guidance of Cássio M'Boy, Bruno Giorgi, and Victor Brecheret. He frequently collaborated with Afro-Brazilian artists such as Solano Trindade and incorporated Black designs and traditions into his works.
