The Ancient Far East

There is no way of avoiding the fact that China is the central culture of Eastern Asia. Massively larger than
any of her neighbors, China may have developed its cultural forms in relative isolation. However, since
the advent of Buddhism, China has both absorbed outside influences and proclaimed its own culture.
Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese cultures are not to be completely understood without taking into
account the powerful influence of Chinese culture in art, literature and religion.

Chess Set Description

The Oriental Chess Set is as ideal for display as it is for fiercely competitive play and will undoubtedly be
cherished by you and your family for years to come.

This East Asian theme chess set makes use of colorful oriental art as the light (white) squares of the
chess board. Each decorative square nicely compliments the oriental chess pieces which in turn will
compliment nearly any room decor, especially those with a Far Eastern flair.

The oriental-styled chess men are made of crushed soapstone* held together with a resin binder. The
ivory pieces have an antique appearance while dark pieces are colored in that familiar reddish-brown
we've so often seen in statues of Buddha. The pawns are extremely unique in that all eight of them are
different. Typically, the pawns of a chess set are all uniform in appearance.

*Soapstone or steatite is a metamorphic rock of which the characteristic and usually chief mineral is talc,
but which also contains varying parts of chlorite, mica, tremolite, quartz, magnetite, and iron compounds.
It is gray to green in color, has a soapy feel, and is notable for its high degree of resistance to acids and
heat. It is so soft that it can be easily cut with a knife or other sharp tool, making it a popular material for
sculpting.
