I know it's been 30 years, sry, but I'm back for a bit. I'm finishing up a Japanese culture course at Uni and when it's fully over (I don't want to be accused of plagiarizing some weird Tumblr so I'm waiting lol) I'll post the culture pieces I wrote, and I'll link the ones that have online resources and whatnot. So in like a week and a half to two weeks keep ur eyes peeled 👍

Queen Mother Pendant Mask: Iyoba, Benin, 16th century,
This ivory pendant mask is one of a pair of nearly identical works; its counterpart is in the British Museum in London. Although images of women are rare in Benin's courtly tradition, these two works have come to symbolize the legacy of a dynasty that continues to the present day. The pendant mask is believed to have been produced in the early sixteenth century for the King or ObaEsigie, the king of Benin, to honor his mother, Idia. The oba may have worn it at rites commemorating his mother, although today such pendants are worn at annual ceremonies of spiritual renewal and purification.
Ivory, iron, copper,
Dimensions: H. 9 3/8 x W. 5 x D. 2 1/2 in. (23.8 x 12.7 x 6.4 cm)
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue

Edo Lullaby🎼
I'd like to think Atsuko used to sing this to young Splinter to sleep or to calm him down. So once he had kids of his own he began singing this song from his memories as well.
Later on when he became more depressed and spent less and less time with his kids, Raph began to sing it instead (I'd feel like Raph would remember things that felt extremely important to him, hence why.)
And once Splinter began getting more involved with his children again, and especially after the events of the movie, they sang the song together to their family.
