Museum of Fine Art, Houston


Each culture has their unique meaning to everything. From the bowls and utensils used, to each flowers representing upon their dishes. Each culture is so unique and thanks to this incredible museum; I learn why each culture believe in their religion that many follows. Every art has their own story and meaning behind it. 

Art of India believes in cultural old ancestors and Japanese dig towards survival and old ways of worshipping the Nyorai a bud dishy deity. To their music culture brought along a strong effect towards the community. They are so protective and fear but are ready to fight with the foreigners attack. 

Art of China; the Chinese agriculture like to stand on higher grown and ranking to strive for more. Very traditionish to their clothing and symbols; each having a unique print and meaning. The Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara represent mercy, popularity and compassion. Representing many cultures and their exchanges but keep to their extensive Chinese background during the Zhou and Sui dynasties. 


Askan people of Ghana: heavy bracelet representing "A plantation of babAdua never stops growing". Each jewelry representing their different kind of religions. They believe that there exist object with magical sense to protect them from harm. Women's Jewlery soon captured and switch to the  European ideal of fashion. The British establish a gift giving tradition in their relation of Akan. Traditional color of gold as in Gold Coast. They also have different kind of clothing and fashion to separate each from one another according by their  of wealth.
