Talk:Pirooz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"A small band of Arabs under determined and brilliant leadership, with a revolutionary social message of materialistic and spiritual nature, defeated several Persian armies and conquered the Sassanian Empire. The king was killed, but his family with his nobles and his court reached China through Transoxiana, where for some decades they maintained a court in exile and tried unsuccessfully to make a comeback. (This event can be traced through the peculiar Chinese and Japanese face masks, showing the enormous Persian noses, and other Sassanian arts and artifacts in the Japanese Imperial Repository, the Shosoin, in Nara). The court artisans accompanied the Sassanian princes to the Chinese capital, Chang-An and Chinese pottery and textile design was profoundly influenced by Sassanian motifs, as was the derivative Japanese art."

- It seems that Prince Pirooz's presence in east Asia influenced the pottery of Tang period China, as well as Nara and Heian period Japan (since Japan borrowed greatly from Chinese culture).(!Mi nombre es amoladora de la carne y traigo el dolor! 23:43, 16 May 2006 (UTC))
