In the 1970s, Liberdade took on its current name and defined its oriental look, mainly thanks to the efforts of Tsuyoshi Mizumoto, an immigrant who wanted to honor his native Japan and express his gratitude to his adopted land. This shopping center fits right in with the neighborhood's visual identity.
