TYPES OF ART

HISTORY
The Owo site was first excavated in 1969 by Ekpo Eyo in the contemporary Yoruba town of Owo. Archaeologists have found terracotta sculptures dating to the 15th century. Owo is situated halfway between the Nigerian towns of Ife and Benin in southern Nigeria, and so it is not surprising that Owo art displays characteristics of both traditions. Some of the Owo objects show similarities to the art of Benin, while others display characteristics that are unique to Owo. Ife was then declining in power as Oyo, another Yoruba city situated in the north, was ascending. Benin in the 15th century was expanding its influence to both the east and west and must have affected Owo. Owo claims that it was never conquered by Benin, but there are many elements of Owo culture clearly borrowed from Benin, such as chieftaincy titles and the royal regalia and crowns.

History penis celebrating Festival in Japanese

  Tokyo See & Do How To Celebrate Kanamara Matsuri, Tokyo’s Penis Festival This giant pink penis is one of the main attractions at the festival | Carlos Quiapo / © Culture Trip Rebecca Hallett Freelance writer and editor 5 July 2019 Japan’s festivals are opportunities for local people to exchange the strictures of daily life for drinking, dancing and generally cutting loose. At the Kanamara Matsuri, or the Festival of the Steel Phallus, it’s sexual repression that gets set aside for one joyful day of cross-dressing, penis-shaped lollipops and, of course, a few giant phalluses. It may seem incongruous to have a raucous festival celebrating genitalia in Japan, given the country’s reputation for being mild-mannered, discreet and extremely private. However, in Japanese society, there are plenty of opportunities to let your hair down – they just tend to be very clearly delineated. So while you may get wildly drunk at the office  nomikai (drinking party) and sing some ill-advised karaoke
