| Also abbreviated to *budou karakusa ¸. A grape-patterned arabesque used on the pendant *gatou ˘, of a broad concave eave end tile *nokihiragawara Ź˝˘. Tiles with this motif are found on buildings at Okadera Ş in Nara and its vicinity. The grapevine motif is found in ancient Greece, Rome, and the Near East. It reached China and was first used during the Northern Wei dynasty (Jp: Hokugi ké°) in caves at Yungang (Jp: Unkou _ź) and Lungmen (Jp: Ryuumon ´ĺ). During the Sui and Tang dynasties, it was widely used at Chang-an (Jp: Chouan ˇŔ). In Korea it was used as a tile pattern during the Unified Silla period (Jp: Touitsu Shiragi ęV ). Tiles with a grapevine motif can be dated to the late 7c. There are four slightly different renderings of the pattern: three found at Okadera and one at Jikouji ő ruins, both in Nara. Across the upper face of each tile, there is a zigzag motif *kyoshimon ś, *inazumamon îČś, separated from the grapevine pattern by a high ridge. | ||||||
