- Imperial Japanese embassies to China
Imperial embassies to China were Japanese diplomatic missions intermittently sent to China between the year of 600 and 894. The missionaries were chosen from low-class aristocracies or Buddhist priests. As tributaries of Imperial China, missionaries were intended for importing the Chinese culture such as science, technologies and especially Zen-Chan Buddhism.
