Has there ever been an instance of East Asian royalty visiting European royalty prior to the 1900s?

On the occasion of Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee, in 1887, a number of East Asian Royalty were guests.

Among the Asian guests were: Thakur Sahibs of Gomdal, of Lieuri and of Moroi, the Maharajah of Kuch Behar, and the Eao of Kutch. Above all was the Maharajah Holkar of Indore, who seemed to be a mass of emeralds and brilliant. Almost at the same time the Sultaneh of Persia, Prince Komatsu e Japan, and other Eastern princes were conducted to their places in the sacrarium, where also the Queen of Hawaii had a place.

The Queen's diamond Jubilee, in 1897, had a similar attendance of East Asian royalty.
