History	According to ancient documents, it is assumed that the ancestors of the Chin were presented as a gift from the rulers of Korea (during the Silla Dynasty age 377–935) to the Japanese court in 732. Over the next 100 years, a large number of Chins came into Japan. Historical records also indicate that envoys sent to China (during the Tung Dynasty age 618–910) and North Korea (during the Po H’ai Dynasty age 698–926) brought back dogs of this breed. During the reign of the Shogunate Tsunayoshi Tokugawa (1680–1709), the breed was raised as an indoor toy dog in the Castle of Edo.
