This article examines the status of kinship groups claiming to be ofBaekje descent during the reign of the Japanese Emperor Kanmu(b.737, r.781-806). Being a maternal descendant of the Baekje royalhouse himself, Kanmu extended some unprecedented favours to variousimmigrant clans. However, the bestowed rewards and privileges variedgreatly depending on the individual family. In an attempt to providean explanation for this difference in treatment, the role of the immi-grant clans, or members thereof, is first discussed in terms of Kanmusphilosophical beliefs, his bureaucracy, and his Hinder Palace. Then, thedifference in status between the immigrant kinship groups is analyzed,and a possible explanation for the difference in treatment is suggested.
