The Hata clan (秦氏) was an immigrant ( Torai-jin 渡来人 ) clan active in Japan since the Yamato period, according to the epic history Nihonshoki.

The first leader of the Hata to arrive in Japan, Uzumasa-no-Kimi-Sukune ( Yamatoized name ), arrived during the reign of Emperor Chūai, in the 2nd century CE. According to the epic, he and his followers were greeted warmly, and Uzumasa was granted a high government position.

The name Hata ( 秦 Qin in Chinese reading ) was reserved to descendants of the Chinese Qin Dynasty established in ancient Japan

* read footnote on page 360 of English-edition Nihongi 日本紀 or Nihon Shoki 日本書紀 ( Chronicles of Japan ).The word Hada or Hata points to Chinese ancestry.

I have read somewhere that scholars debate upon that the Hata are of Semitic origin. If so, then why does Hata points to Chinese ancestry?

at first, Qin(ツ秦ツ) Dynasty was not theツ han chinese dynasty, that is , Foreigner's dynasty in china
 
then why does 秦氏 Hata points to Chinese ancestry ?


Because it's recorded in Japan's shoban ( or 蕃 別 banbetsu ).

諸蕃 ( shoban ) was a family registry designated Japanese clans known to be of continental descent.

Todaiji temple in Nara is one of the oldest temple and famous for the great statue of Buddha.

Omizutori, which means taking sacred water, has become the popular name of the ceremony.
But the ceremony is very famous for its flaming ritual.

Some claim the ritual might have been related to the Zoroastrianism. Actually the Nihonshoki said about Persians coming to Japan.

A great mystery...

In wiki, it says that the Hata clan is of Jewish ancestry and their Jewish culture influenced the Japanese culture to a greater extent

I think it a pure exaggeration
 
One more reason why Wiki is not approved as a source by most teachers assigning homework.
