Japanese missions to Baekje

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Japanese missions to Baekje represent an aspect of the international relations of mutual Baekje-Japanese contacts and communication.[1] The bilateral exchanges were intermittent.

The unique nature of these bilateral diplomatic exchanges evolved from a conceptual framework developed by the Chinese.[2]

  • 369-375 — Yamato Japan and Baekje maintain yearly exchanges of ambassadors.[3]

According to the Nihon Shoki, in the years 501-700 Japan sent 328 official missions to Baekje, 316 to Silla, 146 to Goguryeo, 193 to Imna (Mimana), 20 to Gaya, 20 to Tamna, and 5 to Samhan kingdoms.[4] Exchanges of embassies with the Korean kingdoms of Baekje and Silla were critical for informing the Japanese of cultural developments on the continent.[5]
