It's really interesting to see that this was in Japan because this is actually a very typical statue of an island in South Korea, even though the material looks somewhat different from the ones in Korea.
Apologies Phillipe. Of course you are correct. The "Men from the North" did move down from the Scandinavian regions of what are today modern Norway and Denmark and occupy what came to be known as Normandy. What I should have said was that the major political and cultural influence shifted from the North of Europe to the lands to the South East of England. Stephen
