Colors and culture

molto affettuoso, originally uploaded by Fib.

Previously I have written about whether there would be an rgb religion in the future...

Now, that idea emerged from pagan religious symbols about four elements and their corresponding colors.

Today I saw this picture on Flickr and I immediately remembered that white represents death in Japan.

While we here, in western cultures, use white in weddings, Japanese people use white in funerals.

Just a quick note for your information :)
