Invited to Japan in 610, he painted murals of the shrine at Pobryung Temple which was built in Nara Prefecture of the country with help of Korean architects.

The murals consist of 12 sides in all and typical of them is "Amitabha Paradise" drawn on the sixth wall side. Refined lines, vivid colors and rhythmic and proportional composition displayed on this mural well show his high artistic talent as well as the developed pictorial art of Koguryo.

Tamjing played a big role in developing Japan's science and technology, too. He taught Japanese how to color and make paper, ink and water-mill.

His feats for the development of Japan's culture and technology are recorded in old Japanese books and his art works created in Japan evidently display the developed science and culture of Koguryo in the early 7th century.
