■제시문

Today, many people are gradually becoming interested in Oriental culture, so many popular brands make things with Oriental items or designs. For example, the worldwide golf brand "Nike Golf" made golf clothes with a Chinese phoenix on them. The phoenix looks very mysterious, and it also shows Korea's beauty. Also, some cosmetics have Oriental beauty, using paintings and pictures. As well, the Nokia company made cell phones which have Oriental flower patterns.

I think it is a very good chance for the world to notice Korean culture, and also, more and more, Asia's culture, too. I think we need to produce new items with many Oriental pictures on them. If we can do this, probably many other Western country people will know our culture and try to learn and love it. Also, Asia will be a great continent with beautiful cultures, and it will be good looking to many Western people.
