Gwalleuk

Gwalleuk was a Korean Buddhist monk from the kingdom of Baekje who lived during the time of King Wideok. In 602, he travelled to Japan and is known for helping to spread the teachings of Taoism and Buddhism to Japan. In particular, he brought over fangshu texts related to the likes of geomancy and onmyōdō, as well as a calendar, according to the Nihon Shoki. In 624, he was made a high priest, possibly of Gangō-ji, for the rest of his life.
