My country for this project was Korea. I first started this assignment by thinking of what first comes to mind when i think of Korea. I think of their bright vibrant colors, their food and their tradition.
I researched Korea's culture, and the biggest thing that i saw was the Lotus Lantern Festival. It is a big celebration in Korea. It is a celebration of Siddhartha Guatama's birthday. The dominant religion in both North and South Korea is Buddhism so in researching the festival i decided to focus my welcome mat around their religion. The Lotus flower is an important symbol in Buddhism. It is said that when Siddhartha looked in the reflection of the water and saw a lotus in the pond it was then he was enlightened and gain vision of creating the religion Buddhism.
