Description

This groundbreaking English-language study examines the origins of Japanese historiography by combining archaeological and textual evidence to trace Japan's formative cultural connections with the Korean kingdom of Paekche. The book explores how Paekche tutors played a crucial role in establishing literate culture in ancient Japan, teaching Chinese writing to the Japanese court and guiding early administrative practices through written records and family history documentation. By analysing this period of cultural exchange, the work demonstrates how foreign educators shaped the foundations of Japanese historical writing and record-keeping systems that would define the nation's intellectual heritage for centuries to come.

Key Features

This book traces the role of foreign educators in establishing literate culture and historical record-keeping practices in ancient Japan.
