explanation: A part of Asuka period spreading from Taika reform in 645 until a transfer of the capital to Nara in 710. Under the guidance of Emperor Tenchi, Japan received a centralized political system (Ritsuryo regime) and Emperor Tenmu and his wife, Empress Jito continued that policy with an appearance of the first Japanese fixed capital, Fujiwarakyo in the model of Chinese Tang dynasty. The influence of Tang dynasty was also manifest in Buddhist architecture such as Yakushiji temple.
