'''Abu al-Ala al-Ma'arri (; December 973May 1057), also known by his Latin name Abulola Moarrensis''', was an Arab philosopher, poet, and writer from Ma'arrat al-Nu'man, Emirate of Aleppo (in present day Syria).

thumb|Amitābha in [[Byōdō-in created by Jōchō. 1053.]] Jōchō (定朝; died 1057 AD), also known as Jōchō Busshi, was a Japanese sculptor of the Heian period. He popularized the yosegi technique of sculpting a single figure out of many pieces of wood, and he redefined the canon of body proportions used to create Buddhist imagery.
