Through trade

Explanation:

We know that the Japanese traded with China for silk and that Prince Shotoku and his successors were strongly influenced by Confucian thinking, going so far as to base the Japanese constitution around those principles. Also early Isolationalism helped Japan develop it's own view of outsiders and this had a significant impact on it's culture and beliefs.
