5 Asian Continent The Asian Continent is one of the largest in the world. Showcasing the variety of cultures found on this continent, elements represent many traditions. Umbrellas not only provide shade, but are traditional and essential wedding accessories throughout China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand and Laos. In some Asian cultures, coins were used (and in some cases still used) as jewelry in countries such as India, Armenia, Nepal, and Turkmenistan. Every heritage has its own meaning for the jewelry and how it was worn. Photos of historic and important structures, such as the Great Wall of China, were incorporated and hung with a string of colors from the Philippines flag (red, yellow, white, and blue) in honor of those who died in the recent natural disasters. These colors were also used as garland on the tree. Rosa Paulino-Rasuio, Patil Bozabalian, and Stacy Gratz
