In this book, 100 objects (ten objects from ten countries) are grouped together in relation to the basic
necessities of life everywhere: food, clothing, domicile, and medicine, plus the ways traditional
agricultural communities make their living, observe their spiritual beliefs, and occupy their spare time
in games and music. We hope to educate the readers on the everyday practices, traditions, techniques
and artistic styles from Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Korea, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Philippines,
Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
