Wang In
Wani ( ja, 王仁, 和邇吉師, Wani, Wani Kishi) is a semi-legendary scholar who is said to have been sent to Japan by Baekje of southwestern Korea during the reign of Emperor Ōjin. He used to be associated with the introduction of the Chinese writing system to Japan. Original sources and analysis Wani is mentioned only in Japanese history books; he is not recorded in Chinese or Korean sources. The main sources of Wani's biography are the '' Nihon Shoki'' (720) and the ''Kojiki'' (712). These stories have long been questioned by scholars.

Motoori Norinaga (1730–1801) claimed that it was pointless to care about details because t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
