I had always thought that my little 2 3/4" bronze (or some other non-magnetic metal) buddha was Japanese in origin. One of our Thanksgiving guests admired it and, after looking at the characters on the base, announced that it was chinese! Of course he couldn't read/translate the characters, but he was certain they are chinese.

I have thought it was Japanese for 30 years!

Can anyone confirm this?
