It is rare for Kibi No Asomi Makibi to collect books, cultural relics and weapons urgently needed by Japan and pack them back to China. His greatest contribution to Japan was to create katakana with reference to the radicals of Chinese characters, and revised the Twenty-four Laws together with another overseas student, Okada.

The spirit of monk Jian Zhen was highly praised. Former Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama said that the cultural ties between Japan and China have been very strong due to Jian Zhen's eastward journey, which is a very remarkable thing. Zhao Puchu praised: "I walked into the stormy waves that year" and "brotherhood was deep twice."
