		Since Japanese students, scholars, and monks accompanied the envoys to China—during the Tang, the embassies tended to be extremely large—and sometimes remained there for prolonged periods of study, these embassies were a very important factor in the importation of Chinese civilization to Japan.

	Twelve Level Cap and Rank System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The primary distinction between this new system and the old kabane system by which a person's rank was determined based on heredity, was that the cap and rank system allowed for promotion based on merit and individual achievement.
		One of the more well known examples of promotion within the cap and rank system is that of Ono no Imoko.
		When Imoko was first sent as an envoy to the Sui court in 607, he was ranked Greater Propriety (5th rank), but he was eventually promoted to the top rank of Greater Virtue because of his achievements, particularly during his second trip to Sui in 608.

	Ikebana : a bit of history
		A name emerges here : that of the ambassador Ono no Imoko, who became the priest Senmu and who was the first in Japan to codify the floral art, preferring the Buddhist sobriety, and the classic rigour of the trinitarian principle that we still find today in many Japanese bouquets, to the Confucian exuberance.
		Sen no Rikyû therefore cut some iris with his dagger, attached them to it and sent the whole lot into a bucket.
		No great masters, a lot of rules, and the snobbery of a lazy aristocratic class trying valorise itself by sterile exhibitions, this is the harsh judgement one could make concerning the Ikebana of the XVIIth century.

		In AD 607, on behalf regent Prince Shōtoku (聖徳太子), Ono no Imoko (小野妹子) led a Kenzui-shi (遣隋使) from Japan to the Sui Dynasty's Imperial Court (隋朝) in LuòYáng (洛陽/洛阳).
		In a Japanese children's book, it showed that the choice was words were deliberately chosen by Prince Shōtoku, and when Ono no Imoko pointed its potential damage to the mission, Prince Shōtoku maintained he wanted to make clear his country was seeking inter-state relationship as an equal (Chinese dynasties must had some reputation even then!).
		Nihon Shoki mentions the embassy, doesn't mention the terms of Shōtoku's letter at all, but has Imoko claiming that the return letter the Sui emperor gave him was confiscated by Paekche officials as he passed through that kingdom.

		Four years later, a garden was created at the Imperial palace in the new capital at Nara for the Empress Suiko by the Korean artisan Michiko no Takumi, known as the "Ugly Artisan" for his white blotchy skin.
		As the aristocracy became increasingly preoccupied with philosophical matters and employed Buddhist monks as garden designers it was no surprise that Buddhist metaphors came to be widely employed at this time.

		The use in designs of only damaged materials destined to die, as a preservation of their lives, is no longer absolute, but this philosophy is maintained in the Oriental design characteristic of simplicity.
		These arrangements, particularly as their commercial value is based more on artistic skill rather than quantity of floral materials, do not appeal to all tastes, just as the traditional designs will vary in their appeal.
		This is no different than exists with every form of art.
