Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In response to the Tang infiltration, Japanese rulers sought alliances with the remaining Korean states and looked to centralize their power. This can be seen in the rise of powerful clans such as the Fujiwara and Taira who were able to gain more control over the government. Additionally, the Japanese began to adopt more Chinese-style bureaucracy and administration in order to strengthen their central government. There is no evidence to suggest that relations between Japan and Korea were impacted, war was declared upon Korea, or war was declared upon Tang China.
