Owanbe Japan is shaped by hands inside the room and the work outside it. The list below tells the truth about what came from where.
Photography and video
Original media produced for Owanbe Japan, in Sapporo and on location. If you recognize your work in our archive uncredited, write to admin@owanbe.jp and we will fix it.
Cultural heritage
The brand draws on Yoruba motifs, language, and figurines. We use them with care, not as decoration. The Ife head and other artefacts referenced on the site belong to a lineage older than the brand. The brand carries the language, the language does not carry the brand.
Tools and platforms
The site is built on open source. Names below link to the projects we lean on.
