A fact from Tori Busshi appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 9 February 2006. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Tori Busshi, a Japanese artist, most likely learned to sculpt while working as a saddle maker?

Wikipedia

links

Is the link from this page to "Shaka" correct? I admittedly don't know much about this topic, but i don't see the relationship between Japanese sculpture and Shaka Zulu as being the one the original author intended. Maybe i'm missing something? Archtemplar 03:23, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Doh! Someone clearly didn't check the links before hitting [Save page]. I just fixed it. It was a goof / Japanese version for Shakya, itself the name of Siddhartha Gautama's clan, and also short for Shakyamuni or Sakyamuni, one of the names of the Buddha.

Pictures

Does anyone have any more pictures of the statues described here? They'd be very much appreciated. There's nothing better for talking about artwork than to have a visual image to refer to. :) Cheers, Eiríkr Útlendi | Tala við mig 21:08, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
