The multi-culture wave from Central Asia had reached China under Tang Dynasty on the high. For instance, the ornamental designs on the bronze showing animals facing each other. The artistic aspects from Central Asia were a fashion that affected daily life in areas such as clothing, cooking, music, etc. Moreover, Persian music had been appreciated in the palace of the Tang Emperor while Persian food is served at the table of the gentry and women dressed with Persian style clothes. This enthusiasm for the exotic was soon spread out to other regions of China as well as Japan who had close relations with China in the Tang period. Several traces of the influences still exist there, with the objects, instruments and textiles preserved at the famous Shoso-in, the depository of treasure from the Todaiji temple at Nara, and also more diffuse influences, such as music.
