Buddhism, which spread from its native India to China, becoming molded by Chinese society into a new form of 'Chinese Buddhism', was later spread to Japan. The history of Buddhism in Japan can be roughly divided into three periods, namely the Nara period (710-794), the Heian period (794-1185) and the post-Heian period (1185 onwards). Although it is possible that Buddhism was known to the Japanese previously, the "official" introduction of Buddhism to Japan is dated to 552 in Nihon Shoki (otherwise 538 according to the History of Gangōji monastery),[7] when Seong of Baekje sent a mission to Nara including some Buddhist monks or nuns, together with an image of Buddha, and numbers of sutras to introduce Buddhism.
