S. Korean premier visits ancient scholar's grave in Japan

OSAKA, Japan - South Korean Prime Minister Kim Jong Pil (R) offers a prayer at the gravestone in memory of Wani, who came to Japan from the Korean state of Paekche around 400, in Hirakata, Osaka Prefecture, on Sept. 5. Kim is completing his five-day official visit to Japan on the same day. Wani is thought to have brought the ''Analects of Confucius'' and the ''Thousand Character Classic,'' to Japan during Emperor Ojin's reign from the late fourth to early fifth centuries.
