Mimash

Japanese: 味摩之 - みまし
Mimash

Date of birth and death unknown. A naturalized person from Baekje who introduced gigaku to Japan. According to the "Nihon Shoki," Ajimashi, who naturalized in the 20th year of the reign of Empress Suiko (612), had studied in the country of Kure and mastered gigaku, so the Imperial Court had him live in Sakurai, Yamato (Nara Prefecture), and gathered young boys to teach him gigaku. Two of his disciples, Mano Obitodeshi and Imakino Ayahito Saimon, are said to have passed on gigaku to future generations. The gigaku mask donated to the former Horyuji Temple is said to have belonged to Ajimashi.

Japanese:

生没年不詳。伎楽(ぎがく)を日本に伝えた百済(くだら)からの帰化人。『日本書紀』によると、推古(すいこ)天皇の20年(612)に帰化した味摩之は、呉(くれ)の国に学んで伎楽儛(くれのうたまい)を習得していたので、朝廷は大和(やまと)(奈良県)の桜井に味摩之を居住させて、少年たちを集め伎楽を伝習せしめたとある。その門下に真野首弟子(まののおびとでし)、新漢済文(いまきのあやひとさいもん)の2人があり、伎楽を後世に伝承したといわれる。なお、旧法隆寺献納御物伎楽面は味摩之将来のものと伝わる。
