A style of wearing a Buddhist robe where the right shoulder is exposed. Frequently seen on *nyorai ”@—ˆ statues, especially seated figures. Originally derived from an Indian custom, where a priest would slip his robe off his right shoulder in order to show respect. In Japanese images the robe is often shown slipping down slightly on the right side, without exposing the whole shoulder. A typical example is the Renben senkoku Shaka nyouraizou ˜@•ΩόŽί‰ή”@—ˆ‘œ (746) of Toudaiji *Daibutsu “Œ‘εŽ›‘啧 in Nara.
