Umako conducted political reforms with [[Prince Shōtoku]] during the rules of [[Emperor Bidatsu]] and [[Empress Suiko]]<ref>{{cite book |author=Mulhern, Chieko Irie |title=Heroic with grace: legendary women of Japan |publisher=M.E.

In the late 6th century, Soga no Umako went to great lengths to promote Buddhism in Japan, and was instrumental in its acceptance. At that time, the Soga clan employed immigrants from China and Korea, and worked to obtain advanced technology and other knowledge. In 587, Umako defeated [[Mononobe no Moriya]] in the [[Soga–Mononobe conflict|Battle of Shigisan]], securing Soga dominance. On January 15, 593, relics of Buddha Shakyamuni were deposited inside the foundation stone under the pillar of a pagoda at [[Asuka-dera]] (Hōkō-ji at the time), a temple whose construction Umako ordered, according to the Suiko section of the [[Nihonshoki]].<ref>{{cite book |author=Aston, W.
