Buddhism is structured into several different schools of thought. For instance, there is Mahayana Buddhism, Theravada Buddhism, zen Buddhism, Nichiren Buddhism, and Pure land Buddhism.
Zen Buddhism and Shingon Buddhism are two notable sects of Japanese Buddhism. Pure Land, or Amidist, Buddhism is also significant in this country. Pure Land has its roots in India and China, however. Zen Buddhism emphasizes meditating for enlightenment. Shingon Buddhism is a type of Pure Land Buddhism and is esoteric and relies on early Buddhist Tantras.
I personally don't think they are very similar. IIRC, Pure Land emphasizes a literal "Pure Land" that you may go to upon death. Compare to Zen, where the goal is nothing, you are already there..
The Chinese adopted it and created other forms of it such as Zen and Pure Land Buddhism
