| | Japan, Buddhism and Warlords |
 | | Buddhism may have arrived in Japan earlier, but the commonly believed time of its arrival in Japan was around the mid-500s, when the Korean king of Paekche was fighting the king of neighboring Silla and wished to ally himself with Japan. |
 | | Japan's emperor sent no troops to Korea, and in 562 Japan was forced from its possession in Korea that it called Mimana. |
 | | Japan was growing also in population, and they were expanding against indigenous people, including the Ainu, who, on the main island, Honshu, were overrun and pushed farther north. |
