Prince Shotoku

To win political leadership over the people, Prince Shotoku encourages his people to accept imperial rule and centralize the government. His Seventeen Article Constitution allows for the public good to be placed “above private interests”. His marriage between Buddhism and Confucianism is at the center of his approach to government and social philosophy yet he is able to maintain Japanese traditions, while borrowing from the Chinese.
