Outline of Final Research Achievements

On Early Buddha Statues, which was produced in the East Han through the Three Kingdoms age, unearthed from Chang Jiang River area, I researched each works dividing the upper area, midstream and the lower area. As a result, it became clear that there are almost no relation between works in the upper area with midstream and lower area. The outcome of this study is that a perspective was obtained about a problem in a spread route of the Early Buddha Statutes.
