Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The abstracted linear patterning seen in the Hungry Tigress Jataka on the Tamamushi Shrine reflects Chinese and Korean influence, specifically the linear patterns seen in Chinese and Korean textiles and ceramics. The asymmetry of the design is more reflective of Japanese artistic influence, and the repeated figure of Buddha is a common motif in Buddhist art across Asia, not specific to Chinese or Korean influence.
