For example, in Africa, a mother might paint a scary face on the bottom of a water gourd to make sure the child followed her directions. Along the Guinea coast of West Africa, many realistic masks represent ancestors; the masks symbolize sanction control when worn. The Dan and Ngere tribes of Liberia and Ivory Coast use ancestor masks as intermediaries for the transmission of petitions or offerings of respect to the gods.

By: Christopher Baker The Balinese language has no separate word for art. To create is an integral part of existence; an activity as natural as planting and harvesting rice. Painting is everywhere, everywhere sculpture. As Noel Coward observed: "it appears that each Balinese native from the womb to the tomb is creative." Around Ubud and Mas, in Gianyar province, the shortest walk becomes a magical mystery tour of homegrown art, flourishing in courtyards where chickens scratch in the dirt and titiran birds coo-coo from their cages.

"Composed broadly of the two aspects "ritual worship" (saigi) and "celebration" (shukusai)1, Japanese festivals involve a wide variety of symbolic contents, and are supported by unique organizations, based on the principles of "harmony" and "opposition."2 In this paper I want to interpret the relationship between such symbols and organizations through the medium of a theory of cognition. Human perception is composed of three types of cognition: concrete sensory cognition (kankakuteki ninshiki), abstract conceptual cognition (gainenteki ninshiki), and what might be called an intermediate kind of cognition, namely, representational cognition (hy?sh?teki ninshiki), a form which is involved with everyday perception while still retaining some of the unique features of sensory cognition.
