> How about East Asian art? "Asia" goes all the way west to Turkey -- > hardly Oriental. Well, actually, "Oriental" traditionally included anything east of Europe. Best solution, of course, is to label it by country or culture. Both "Oriental" and "Asian" are a little less meaningful than "European." Not an entirely worthless label, but not indicative of the variety of cultures/styles within the large group. Yes, I'd agree--"East Asian" for Chinese/Japanese/Korean (an obvious parallel would be "Northern European").
