Duh... Kimchi!
Ok no joke.... I had one of my Korean friends sketch one out for me. It's a Korean traditional handheld fan with flowers kind of flowing over it - I think it's the National Flower of Korea - I'm assuming she'd know but I'm going to double check before I get it done, and my name in Korean is going up the side of the fan. More unique than the dragons most people get when they think of Asia.
What part of the culture do you want to represent? There are many different aspects, and if you could narrow it down a bit, perhaps we could be more helpful 
I do enjoy your idea though! |

| I think I would like to get something that represents the martial arts, something spiritual or something historic. I'm not really a flower type guy. The most important thing is unusual. |

| If you have a friend who can sketch, you could probably combine the spiritual and historical aspects together - if you went with martial arts I'm not sure you could combine that with anything. Good ideas though. |
