On a misty day, the view from the living room of Reiko and Yoshihiro Takishita's 250-year-old home in the hills of Kamakura looks like a modern silkscreen... Flanking the door are an Edo period merchant's chest (tansu) with a Meiji era basket, an 18th century bronze temple candlestick, and a Sendai chest, also Meiji, topped by a late Edo lantern that burned camellia oil.

Cute historical look drawn by Nadeshico Rin, showing a yound lady nestled in a type of coat called shirushibanten (a livery coat​ then worn by craftsmen or merchant clerks).

This is the Edo era takes on "borrowed boyfriend sweater fashion" ;)

Then, haori and other type of coats were menswear only. Women slowy borrowed those more and more overtime until haori entered womenswear.

"This vessel...was used by kings, or obas, of the Benin Kingdom during hand-washing ceremonies...The balanced posture indicates strength, while the perked ears and bared fangs show awareness and aggression—traits the king was expected to have."

"A small portion of a larger painting. This is Olokun, the god of the primordial waters. Angered that Obatala created the lands without her consent, Olokun sought to reclaim her dominion with a great flood. To stop the floods Obatala chains her to the bottom of the ocean…this is the very moment before she is imprisoned within her own kingdom. She stands as a symbol of the chaos that bubbles beneath our calm surface, a profound reminder of the lesser-known parts of ourselves we often retreat from."
