Far Eastern
From that region
Far Eastern describes things from or relating to East Asia—China, Japan, Korea, and neighboring countries.
The term was coined from a European perspective, where these lands lay farthest east.
It appears in formal or historical contexts: Far Eastern trade routes, Far Eastern cuisine.
The phrase sounds dated to many modern ears, with "East Asian" now preferred in most contexts.
