Thank you for the extremely interesting video. I study East Asian cultures and languages at University (focusing on Japan and Korea), tomorrow I have an art exam that is mostly about Buddhism and this is nice to review some material! We studied a lot of the art pieces and concepts you have shown.

Hope your exam went well!

7:46 Looks like a more indianised structure...less influence from China. The buddha wearing the drappery across the right shoulder with the left shoulder exposed....is very common to India and Southeast asia. If the buddha has both shoulders covered, then its the chinese version of the buddha.
