	03:59, 14 January 2024	940 × 423 (1.77 MB)	Specialgst	Reverted to version as of 21:45, 10 January 2024 (UTC): 'The entire world knows blah blah blah' is not an excuse. Japan is a part Sinosphere rather than Greater India, which is the scholar consensus.

The entire world knows the Indo-Buddhist influence on japan. The wiki article itself includes Japan in the east asia section as a part of indosphere and the map must match with the article.
