Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Soga clan introduced Buddhism to Japan, because of their pro-Buddhist policy and political links with the Korean kingdom of Baekje.

1. Relevant knowledge points and concepts
- Buddhism entered Japan from the Korean peninsula (primarily Baekje) in the mid-6th century.
- The Soga clan favored continental (Chinese/Korean) culture and promoted Buddhism at court.
- Other powerful clans (Mononobe and Nakatomi) championed native kami worship (Shinto) and opposed Buddhism.
- Key historical sources: Nihon Shoki records a gift of Buddhist images and sutras from Baekje in 552 (some chronicles give 538).

2. Step-by-step reasoning
- A Baekje king sent Buddhist icons and texts to the Japanese court in the 6th century.
- The Soga clan received and supported these gifts, encouraging their acceptance and propagation.
- Opposition from Mononobe and Nakatomi clans led to political conflict over whether to accept Buddhism.
- Soga leaders (notably Soga no Iname and later Soga no Umako) secured power and defeated the anti-Buddhist Mononobe faction (Mononobe no Moriya was killed in 587), removing the main obstacle to official acceptance.
- With that victory, Buddhism gained official patronage and spread among the aristocracy.

3. Calculations
- Not applicable.

4. Why the correct answer is correct
- Historical records attribute initial sponsorship and protection of Buddhism at the Yamato court to the Soga clan; they cultivated ties with Baekje and used Buddhism to consolidate political power and introduce continental culture.

5. Why other options are incorrect
- Mononobe clan: Opposed Buddhism and fought to preserve Shinto-based traditions.
- Nakatomi clan: Also defenders of traditional kami rites and opposed foreign religion; later connected to Fujiwara origins.
- Fujiwara clan: Rose later from Nakatomi lineage and became powerful aristocrats, but they did not introduce Buddhism.

6. Conclusion
The evidence and sequence of events confirm the correct answer is: Soga clan; (matches the provided answer).
