During the Ungjin period, the kingdom of Baekje newly adopted the roof tile production technology of Liang of Southern Dynasties, and the production of roof tiles also gained momentum as many Buddhist temples were built after moving the capital to Sabi. The roof tile production technology of Baekje was introduced to Silla as well as Japan. Dr. Wa who was sent to Japan influenced the development of Asuka roof tiles.
