The research note outlines and critically engages with contemporary research, and seeks to suggest that much of the current knowledge regarding the biographies of the two figures is unsubstantiated. Furthermore, the research note seeks to provide new starting points for the analysis of the two figures. Whilst it argues that little can be known about the figure of D?r?y, the research note seeks to interact and add to debates regarding his name, nationality, rank, and the roles of other people who are often mentioned alongside him in scholarly works. Turning to Ri Mitsuei, the research note adds to previous research undertaken by the author revising some of the conclusions that he drew elsewhere.}, pages = {105--120}, title = {A New Analysis of Persian Visits to Japan in the 7th and 8th Centuries}, volume = {12}, year = {2020}, yomi = {モリス, ジェームズ ハリー} }
