Even the word \u2018design\u2019 in the context go East Asia holds various meanings in each country. The word \u2018design\u2019 is usually \u2018a translation either directly from English or through double translations\u2019. Terms such as \u2018sekkei\/\u8a2d\u8a08\u2019 in Japanese, \u2018sheji\/\u8bbe\u8ba1\u2019 in Chinese, and \u2018dijain\/\ub514\uc790\uc778&#8217; in Korean basically means design (as in to create, fashion, execute, or construct according to plan). It is believed that in East Asia \u2018the discipline [of design] started the earliest\u2019 in Japan, and Japan \u2018has been leading the design history and study\u2019 with three scholarly associations: The Japan Society for the Science of Design (JSSD) founded in 1954 forcing on design practice, also includes a piece of design history. Isho Gakkai (The Japan Society of Design (JSD) established in 1959, builds a solid academic foundation for design history and study in Japan\u2019 but unfortunately only accessible in Japanese and from the abstracts in English. Dezainshigaku Kenkyukai (Design History Workshop Japan (DHWJ), the most recent group founded by two young historians who have close contact with design historians in the UK and in Eastern European countries. On the other hand China \u2018has been busy catching up to world standards&#8217;, since \u2018design history has been undervalued\u2019 in history. The lack of design development and history is hard since China has been through a politically irreconcilable republican period under Japan, a colonial period of Hong Kong under Britain, etc. However, it is still very hopeful that Chinese design history and study \u2018will become more specialized and will lead to more original research with more critical input into these main directions\u2019. Overall, the fact that historical events and culture in one country are intertwined with its design history helps us to think more about the identity of a design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Works Cited<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>History of China, Korea, Japan &amp; Southeast Asia &#8230; &#8211; Youtube<\/em>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RhNF_EbRgHo\"><em>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RhNF_EbRgHo<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>How Chinese &amp; Japanese Cultures Influenced Each &#8230; &#8211; Youtube<\/em>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BhJjDj7w4aQ\"><em>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BhJjDj7w4aQ<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Huppatz, D.
