The Japanese called the Portuguese, the first Europeans who arrived in Japan, "namban jin" - barbarians from the south. A new type of art has developed, showing the contrasts between East and West, where the Potuguese and their customs were caricturated. The most representative forms of this art are richly decorated folding screens. (at the PORTUGUESE DISCOVERIES WAX MUSEUM, Lagos)
