Question

Under what leader did Japan heavily embrace Buddhism, Confucianism, and other influences from Chinese culture?

Ono Yasumaro
Murasaki Shikibu
Empress Suiko
Prince Shotoku

Answer 1

Correct answer is Prince Shotoku .

Step-by-step explanation:

Ono Yasumaro is not the correct answer as Yasamuro lived in the 8th century and he was a politician, not a ruler.

Second option is not correct as Murasaki Shikinu was a Japanese poet and writer, not a ruler.

Empress Suiko is not correct answer, because she is known as a first female ruler in Japan.

She was the mother of Prince Shotoku who introduced Chinese culture to Japan, thus creating stronger ties with China.
