Buddhism was introduced to Japan in the mid-6th century, primarily through the Korean kingdom of Baekje, which sent missionaries and sacred texts to the Japanese court. The religion gained significant traction, especially under the influence of Emperor Kimmei, who embraced it. Over time, Buddhism blended with local Shinto beliefs, leading to the development of distinct Japanese forms of Buddhism, such as Tendai and Shingon. This cultural exchange profoundly influenced Japanese art, philosophy, and society.
