| The Oriental Themed Chess Set has chess pieces fashioned in the time honored tradition of the Far East. Each thirty-two piece, hand-painted, chess set is made of quality polyresin and features a 3.25" tall king. The optional chess cabinets have a built-in storage compartment that accommodates the chess set's fitted tray which provides individual and protective slots for each chess piece. |
Egypt.[citation needed] As awareness of other Asian countries grew in European consciousness, the term often
came to mean South Asia, Southeast Asia or East Asia. By the late 19th century, the term usually referred to
China, Japan, Korea and surrounding nations while the British colonists frequently used it when speaking of
India. Remnants of the older conception of the Orient still exist in the English language in such collocations as
Oriental studies (now largely replaced by Asian studies), Oriental rug and Oriental harem. It has taken on a
specific usage since the publication of Edward Said's influential book, "Orientalism" (1980).
The adjectival term Oriental has been used by the West as a term to describe cultures, peoples, countries, and
goods from the Orient. "Oriental" means generally "eastern". It is a traditional designation (especially when
capitalized) for anything belonging to the Orient or "East" (for Asia), and especially of its Eastern culture.
