Original Prompt: East Asian history and cultures are depicted in a variety of media in the western world, including video games, graphic novels, martial arts, TV shows, comic conventions, and the like. I invite you to find one representation of this and write an essay about it. Please let us know a little about what you’ve found, the creator of the artifact, and what you think it reveals about westerners’ views of East Asia. There are no real wrong choices here; rather I am hoping that you will be creative, as creative as possible!
